Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with Co-Condensed Gadolinium Chelates for Multimodal Imaging

Several mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) contrast agents have been synthesized using a co-condensation method to incorporate two different Gd3+ complexes at very high loadings (15.5–28.8 wt %). These MSN contrast agents, with an MCM-41 type pore structure, were characterized using a variety of m...
