Gd-Si Oxide Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Gd-Si Oxide Nanoparticles as Contrast Agents in Magnetic Resonance Imaging

We describe the synthesis, characterization and application as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging of a novel type of magnetic nanoparticle based on Gd-Si oxide, which presents high Gd3+ atom density. For this purpose, we have used a Prussian Blue analogue as the sacrificial template by re...
