Magnetic fields have the potential to noninvasively direct and focus therapy to disease
targets. External magnets can apply forces on drug-coated magnetic nanoparticles, or on …

In magnetic drug delivery, therapeutic magnetizable particles are typically injected into the
blood stream and magnets are then used to concentrate them to disease locations. The …

In this pilot study, algorithms for quantitatively evaluating the distribution and heterogeneity
of human ventilation imaged with hyperpolarized (HP) 3He MRI were developed for the goal …

This article describes a range of results, from passive magnet design to optimal feedback
control of a distributed ferrofluid. Representing magnetic forces as the gradient of a magnetic …

As novel engineered nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are extensively used
in nanotechnology due to their superior properties, it becomes critical to fully understand …

We describe the design and operation of an open-access, very-low-field, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) system for in vivo hyperpolarized 3He imaging of the human …

Magnetic fields can be used to direct magnetically susceptible nanoparticles to disease
locations: to infections, blood clots, or tumors. Any single magnet always attracts (pulls) ferro …

Cancer cells frequently present elevated intracellular iron levels, which are thought to
facilitate an enhanced proliferative capacity. Targeting iron metabolism within cancer cells …

This review presents an overview of some recent magnetic resonance (MR) techniques for
pharmaceutical research. MR is noninvasive, and does not expose subjects to ionizing …

Purpose To compare the effect of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on
the T 1 of 129Xe and 1H and to measure the relaxation of 129Xe in blood at low and high …
