Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles: from preparations to in vivo MRI applications

Abstract: Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have received great attention due to their applications as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This feature article briefly introduces the concepts of MRI and MRI contrast agents, and then mainly discusses the synthesis, surface modification, surface functionalization, colloidal stability and biocompatibility of iron oxide particles, followed by their MRI applications.

“…[378] In situ coating process is mainly used in synthesis approaches which lead to surface free nanoparticles in water. [379] That would subsequently result in the formation of magnetic cores and the coatings at the same time that uniformly encapsulates the NP core. However, this strategy may have some negative effects on the magnetic susceptibility of MNPs by limiting their crystallinity.…”

“…[7][8][9] NPs, as is well known, exhibit properties that can be tremendously distinct from their macroscopic counterparts, 10 and the properties as well as surface chemistry then show strong sensitivity to particle size and shape. 11,12 The size-dependent properties can originate from the high surface-to-volume ratio, and influences by particle shapes can be attributed to the distinct crystallographic surfaces that enclose the NP.…”
