Assessment of Human Islet Labeling with Clinical Grade Iron Nanoparticles Prior to Transplantation for Graft Monitoring by MRI

Ex vivo labeling of islets with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles allows posttransplant MRI imaging of the graft. In the present study, we compare two clinical grade SPIOs (ferucarbotran and ferumoxide) in terms of toxicity, islet cellular uptake, and MRI imaging. Human islets (80–90...
