Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) allows quantitative evaluation of the spatial distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles in the body. With a spatial resolution similar to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but superior temporal resolution, MPI has potential for different diagnostic applications. In addition to technical requirements, preclinical and clinical applications of this novel imaging modality require SPIO tracers optimized for MPI. This article discusses the suitability of Resovist as an MPI tracer and challenges and future prospects of tracer development.
