Popis: Dextran-ferrite (DF) nanoparticles were synthesized and the related DF sol was successfully tested in vivo as a negative contrast agent for enhancing early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of tumor, capsule, and tumor-feeding vessels. Intravenous injection of DF in combination with Magnevist and subsequent T2,T 2 * -weighted 3D scanning gave enhanced MRI images that defined the arrangement and functional state of surface and other vessels feeding capsule and tumor in C57Bl/6j mice with a mammary adenocarcinoma (Ac755) model.
