Abstract
Manganese ferrite nanoparticles are superparamagnetic and have very high saturation magnetization, which makes them candidates for application as MRI contrast agents. Because these nanoparticles are very effective enhancers of transverse relaxation, they are particularly suitable as negative (T2-weighted) contrast agents. The magnitude of the relaxivity of nanoparticulate Mn ferrites seems to be determined mainly by the method of preparation, their dimensions, and their saturation magnetization.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy publishes review papers describing research related to the theory and application of NMR spectroscopy. This technique is widely applied in chemistry, physics, biochemistry and materials science, and also in many areas of biology and medicine. The journal publishes review articles covering applications in all of these and in related subjects, as well as in-depth treatments of the fundamental theory of and instrumental developments in NMR spectroscopy.
