  • BISMUTH-IRON OXIDE CONTRAST AGENTS
    Publication number: 20210138088
    Abstract: Nanoparticles for use as a contrast agent, and methods for making and using the nanoparticles, are described, wherein each nanoparticle comprises a core comprising bismuth and iron oxide, and an outer coating (e.g., dextran) surrounding the core. The bismuth-iron oxide nanoparticles can be used in pre-clinical and clinical settings for both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
