Popis: Tunable size ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles from 3 to 9 nm coated with polyethylene glycol phosphonate moieties have been designed for neovascularization MRI.USPIO were synthesized using a nonaqueous sol-gel method. An ischemia-reperfusion rat model has been chosen for neo-angiogenesis and scanned on MRI after injection of different sized USPIO. Histological studies have been performed for USPIO localization within the tissue.The magnetic properties and consequently their MRI relaxivities are drastically dependent on the crystalline core size. In vivo MRI spots were observed specifically in the ischemic area. The best MRI contrast within neovascularization is generated by 6 nm nanoparticles proving that compromise between T
