Assembly system of direct modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for target-specific MRI contrast agents.

We report the direct modification of SPIOs with a biomolecule and the target-specific assembly system of these modified SPIOs for using MRI contrast agents. The transverse relaxation rate of the aqueous solutions containing the modified SPIOs was altered by the dispersion state.
