چکیده

We report here a nanospherical polymer consisting of methacrylic acid and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, which works as a metal-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor for pH. The nanospherical polymer gave a lower signal T2-weighted MRI image with decreasing pH. In contrast, it had little effect on the T1-weighted MRI image.

Systematic review: Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis

Several MRI contrast agents (CAs) are used in medical diagnosis that gadolinium (Gd3+) is the most widely used as contrast agents. Unfortunately, its toxicity is due to its inefficiency. In this review, we discuss about the ability of SPIONs in MRI and application in Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) such as magnetite nanoparticles are used as goo...

Microchannel conductivity measurements in microchip for on line monitoring of dephosphorylation rates of organic phosphates using paramagnetic-beads linked alkaline phosphatase.

This paper presents the use of polymer coated microelectrodes for the realtime conductivity monitoring in a microchannel photoablated through the polymer without contact. Based on this strategy, a small conductometry sensor has been developed to record in time conductivity variation when an enzymatic reaction occurs through the channel. The rate constant determination, k2, for the dephosphoryla...

Paramagnetic relaxation based biosensor for selective dopamine detection.

We report a new NMR relaxation time-based method for sensitive and selective dopamine detection using paramagnetic nanoparticles. The Fe(3+) species in the nanoparticles serves as both the contrast agent and the target recognition element. The results demonstrate that paramagnetic nanoparticles, similar to the more widely used superparamagnetic nanoparticles, can be integrated into relaxation b...

Integrin Targeted MR Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical diagnostic imaging modality for integrin targeted imaging, which uses the magnetic resonance of tissue water protons to display tissue anatomic structures with high spatial resolution. Contrast agents are often used in MRI to highlight specific regions of the body and make them easier to visualize. There are four main classes of MRI contras...
