The synthesis, characterization, and functional evaluation of new size-controlled and biocompatible Gd(2) O(3) nanoparticles as a bimodal contrast agent for use in photoacoustic (PA) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are reported. These nanoparticles show a clear PA image by themselves
Aamir D Abid et al.
Particle and fibre toxicology, 10, 1-1 (2013-01-12)
The deposition, clearance and translocation of europium-doped gadolinium oxide nanoparticles in a mouse lung were investigated experimentally. Nanoparticles were synthesized by spray flame pyrolysis. The particle size, crystallinity and surface properties were characterized. Following instillation, the concentrations of particles in

Biomaterials, 32(29), 7226-7233 (2011-07-13)
Multifunctional materials for biological use have mostly been designed with composite or hybrid nanostructures in which two or more components are incorporated. The present work reports on a multifunctional biomaterial based on single-phased luminescent mesoporous lanthanide oxide nanoparticles that combine

Contrast media & molecular imaging, 8(1), 92-95 (2012-10-31)
In this communication, we demonstrate that there is an optimum gadolinium oxide (Gd(2)O(3)) nanoparticle size of 2.3 nm; in the presence of Gd(2)O(3) particles smaller and larger than this critical size, the spin-lattice relaxation rate (T(1) = 1/r(1)) of water

ACS applied materials & interfaces, 4(9), 4506-4515 (2012-07-28)
Ultrasmall paramagnetic Gd(2)O(3) nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for molecular and cellular preclinical MRI procedures. These small particles (mean diameter <5 nm) have the highest Gd density of all paramagnetic contrast agents. They generate strong positive contrast enhancement
