Monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles with high sensitivity as MRI contrast agents

The preparation of monodisperse and biocompatible water-soluble super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with high sensitivity in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) represents a challenge for the development of contrast agents. Here we report the synthesis of highly monodisperse citric aci...
