چکیده
Background: Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles as positive contrast material of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have attracted a great attention due to the appropriate magnetic properties. One of the most desirable features of these nanoparticles is their ability of doping with other lanthanides which can change their properties. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of neodymium doping on MRI relaxivity of the gadolinium oxide nanoparticles.Material and Methods: In this experimental study, the oleic acid coated gadolinium oxide nanoparticles and the neodymium doped nanoparticles were prepared by polymer pyrolysis method. X-ray diffraction test and scanning electron microscopy were used for characterization of the particles. ۳-(۴,۵-dimethylthiazol-۲-yl)-۲,۵-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed to investigate the in vitro cell toxicity of the nanoparticles. The r۱ and r۲ relaxivities were extracted from the T۱ and T۲ weighted MR images, respectively. Results: The average size of the cytocompatible spherical-like shape nanoparticles was ۴۰ nm. The neodymium doped nanoparticles produced a significant decrease in the r۱ relaxivity, and a ۱.۷ fold increase in the r۲ relaxivity compared to the gadolinium oxide nanoparticles. Conclusion: Doping of neodymium into the gadolinium oxide nanoparticles suppresses the r۱ relaxivity and enhances the r۲ relaxivity of the nanoparticles.کلیدواژه ها
