- Abstract
- 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-64 may act as a contrast agent being a diagnostic tool for PET as well as a good T-2 MRI nanoprobe due to their good r(2)/r(1) ratio. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the Cu-64 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.
