Superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced magnetic resonance for imaging cardiac inflammation. A minireview
Background: Advances in nanotechnology have lead to water bottle the development of a novel contrast media for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO).SPIO nanoparticles are used to image inflammation on the cellular level in various settings.This review covers the physicochemical characteristics of S
