Physicochemical Transformation Effect on the Relaxivity Enhancement of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Nuclear Medicine and MRI Imaging
Homeira Faridnejad
Abstract:Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IONPs), one of the contrast agents for MRI scanners, will be designed to have high relaxivity since they have distinct physical properties attributed to the quantum size effect. There are several techniques for synthesizing IONPs also for Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs) by using some physicochemical transformation effects which can affect relatxivity time by controlling the size and surface which i… Show more
