Iron particles could lead to MRI contrast alternative
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Researchers from Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center are developing a way to load iron inside nanoparticles to create MRI contrast agents that potentially could outperform gadolinium chelates, according to a study published online August 8 in ACS Nano. The particles are based on nanomatryoshkas, concentric layered nanoparticles that draw their name from Russian nesting dolls.
