New MRI contrast agents based on silicon nanotubes loaded with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

This article describes the preparation and fundamental properties of a new possible material as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent based on the incorporation of preformed iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanocrystals into hollow silicon nanotubes (Si NTs). Specifically, superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanopartic...
