Long-T1 Silicon Nanoparticles for Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction The use of nanoparticles for biomedical applications has benefited from rapid progress both in the nanoscale synthesis of materials with specific optical [1] and magnetic properties [2], and in the biofunctionalization of surfaces, allowing targeting in-vivo tracking, and therapeutic action [3]. For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), superparamagnetic nanoparticles [2] have extended...
متن کاملSilicon nanoparticles as hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging agents.
Magnetic resonance imaging of hyperpolarized nuclei provides high image contrast with little or no background signal. To date, in vivo applications of prehyperpolarized materials have been limited by relatively short nuclear spin relaxation times. Here, we investigate silicon nanoparticles as a new type of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging agent. Nuclear spin relaxation times for a vari...
متن کاملIn vivo magnetic resonance imaging of hyperpolarized silicon particles.
Silicon-based micro- and nanoparticles have gained popularity in a wide range of biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo, as well as their flexible surface chemistry, which allows drug loading, functionalization and targeting. Here, we report direct in vivo imaging of hyperpolarized (29)Si nuclei in silicon particles by magnetic resonance imaging. Natu...
متن کاملFacile synthesis of high magnetization long term stable bimetallic FeCo nanoparticles
In this study, we reported a facile synthesis of bimetallic FeCo nanoparticles (Fe-Co NPs) by FeSO4.7H2O and Co(Ac)2.4H2O in the presence of sodium borohydride and 2-thiotic acid. The structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Micros...
متن کاملHyperpolarized lithium-6 as a sensor of nanomolar contrast agents.
Lithium is widely used in psychotherapy. The (6)Li isotope has a long intrinsic longitudinal relaxation time T(1) on the order of minutes, making it an ideal candidate for hyperpolarization experiments. In the present study we demonstrated that lithium-6 can be readily hyperpolarized within 30 min, while retaining a long polarization decay time on the order of a minute. We used the intrinsicall...
