Nanoparticle-enabled X-ray Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NXMR)
RPI ID:
2014-052-401
Innovation Summary:
NXMRI combines X‑ray excitation of nanoparticles with MRI readout to localize contrast agents by monitoring changes in resonance parameters (T1/T2/T2*) induced by excitation. Nanoparticles (e.g., nanophosphors) embedded in tissue are energized by X‑rays or UV, altering their local magnetic environment. An MRI...
