We have developed chelator-free copper-64-incorporated iron oxide (IO) nanoparticle (NPs) which have both magnetic and radioactive properties being applied to positron emission tomography (PET)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have found that the IO nanoparticles composed of radioactive isotope Cu may act as a contrast agent being a diagnostic tool for PET as well as a good MRI nanoprobe due to their good / ratio. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the Cu incorporation at the core of core-shell-structured IO NPs exhibits a good in vivo stability, giving us an insightful strategy for the design of a contrast agent for the PET-MRI system.
我们已经开发出了无螯合剂的、掺入了铜-64的氧化铁(IO)纳米颗粒(NPs),其兼具磁性和放射性,可应用于正电子发射断层扫描(PET)-磁共振成像(MRI)。我们发现,由放射性同位素铜组成的IO纳米颗粒可作为一种造影剂,既是PET的诊断工具,又因其良好的/比率而成为一种优良的MRI纳米探针。此外,我们证明,在核壳结构的IO NPs核心掺入铜表现出良好的体内稳定性,这为设计用于PET-MRI系统的造影剂提供了一种有见地的策略。
