Abstract

Mossbauer spectroscopy, proton relaxometry, and transmission electron microscopy are used to study magnetite nanoparticles designed for creating diagnostic contrast media. Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles with a size of 5–7 nm and blocking temperature of T b = 50 K are examined as a component of diagnostic contrast media with relaxation times T 1 and T 2 capable of circulating in the bloodstream for a long time. Larger ferrimagnetic nanoparticles (30–40 nm) can be concentrated in pathological tissues by applying an external magnetic field, thereby providing a means for hyperthermia.
