The Use of Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction in Mediated Delivery of a Gadolinium Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agent Into Fibroblast Cells In Vitro
A method for delivering Gd-based MRI contrast agents by ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction into fibroblast cells in vitro is presented. First, MRI contrast agents Gd-F-DOTP-ME and Gd-DOTA-4iBA are shown to associate with liposome microbubbles used as ultrasound contrast agents. Repeated …

Numerical modelling of dilatant rock joints
… the effect on nuclear relaxation behaviour, paramagnetic contrast agents have immense diagnostic potential and have recently received a great deal of attention in the literature. The gadoliniummaltol complex was studied with the view to developing a potential tissue-specific magnetic resonance …

Synergistic development of an engineered biodegradable theranostic probe and lymph node organ-on-a-chip to study nanoparticle-lymphatic interactions
… as well as the use of BVNPs in photoacoustic imaging of sentinel lymph nodes. Fundamental studies on BVNPs demonstrated shifts in their spectral properties as a response to various stimuli, including pH changes, metal chelation, and UV irradiation. BVNPs loaded with doxorubicin (Dox-BVNPs) …

The Preparation, Functionalization and Biomedical Applications of Carbonaceous Nanomaterials
… weight of the PEG from 350 to 5000. The 1H magnetic resonance relaxivities of the materials were studied at 0.35 T, 2.4 T and 9.4 T. Their relaxivities were found to increase as the molecular weight of the PEG decreased, which is attributed to the increasing aggregate size. The aggregate …

Polymer-mediated assembly of MRI contrast agents and their use in imaging of vascular defects
… locally highlight vascular defects via medical imaging may therefore provide a way to improve diagnosis and treatment of some of the most significant diseases worldwide. As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the highest spatial resolution and best soft tissue contrast among common imaging …
