About
Technology Shape-controlled magnetic nanoparticles as T1 contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Various nanoparticle (NP) shapes to tune the relaxivity of magnetic NP’s as T1 contrast agents for MRI, primarily ferrite NPs, such as iron oxide, manganese ferrite, zinc ferrite, and copper ferrite. Technology has the ability to modifty structure of the contrast agent into whiskers, plate or wire shapes. This allows not only the effectiveness of the contrast agent to be improved, but also targeting imaging is realized and further enhance the residence time. Advantages The technology has many advantages, including; Removes toxicity of widely used T1 contrast agent Produce brighter and clearer quality Provide targeting imaging ability Enhance contrast agent residence time Easy to produce Safer and more effective Increase retention through nanowires Sources http://ott.ua.edu/portfolio-item/uaipd-10-0028-shape-controlled-magnetic-nanoparticles-contrast-agents-magnetic-resonance-imaging/
