| Abstract: | SPIONs show potential as contrast agent for low-field MRA due to their high relaxivities and long circulation times. In this research the relaxivity ratio (r1/r2) of three SPIONs with different core size is determined at 0.25, 0.5 and 1.5T. SPIONs were diluted in porcine blood and measured at 37°C. At 0.25T and 0.5T a higher relaxivity ratio was found for the SPIONs compared to 1.5T showing their feasibility of generating positive contrast at these field strengths. |
