In Vivo 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using a Biologically Specific Contrast Agent for Prostate Cancer: A Nude Mouse Model

We characterized in vivo a functional superparamagnetic iron-oxide magnetic resonance contrast agent that shortens the T2 relaxation time in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of prostate cancer xenografts. The agent was developed by conjugating Molday ION™ carboxyl-6 (MIC6), with a deimmunized mouse...
