Introduction: Gd (III) ion has been known to be the best metal ion in the periodic table that can be used as a T1 MRI contrast agent. Gadolinium have 7 unpaired electrons and these electrons can make magnetic area. No other metal ions possess unpaired electron more than this. CAs based on the element Gd are classified as “positive”, by opposition to “negative” CAs. Nowadays, G...

magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in mri as the contrast agent. iron oxide particles such as magnetite (fe3o4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-fe2o3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. in this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (cmn-fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...

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...

introduction contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (flair) is one of the mri sequences that can be used for detection and evaluation of pathological changes in the brain. in this work, we have studied the effect of different echo times (te) on the maximum relationship between signal intensity and concentration of the contrast agent using the flair sequence. materials and methods...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to evaluate the capability of synthesized and modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as the positive contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by investigating the effect of repetition time (TR) on the MRI signal intensity. Materials and Methods: SPIONs were synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and their surfac...
