Abstract EN
It is advantageous to achieve positive contrast images instead of negative contrast images in superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles-based MR imaging in order to distinguish the signal surrounding SPIO nanoparticles from the dark signal due to local field inhomogeneity and the artifacts due to tissue interface and background noise, eliminate the inherent defects in the traditional MRI such as partial-volume effects and large void volume for reliable visualization, and increase contrast-to-noise ratio.
Many methods generating positive signal with SPIO nanoparticles have been developed in the last decade.
This paper provides an overview of current visualization methods and states their advantages and disadvantages.
In practice, these techniques have been widely applied to cell labeling and disease diagnosis and monitoring.
However, there is still a need for an ideal method to achieve both accuracy and sensitivity.
