Fluorescein surface-modified gadolinium oxide
nanoparticles which were synthesized in triethylene
glycol were nearly monodisperse in diameter and highly
water-dispersible. These nanoparticles can be used as
MRI contrast agent as well as optical imaging. This dual
imaging capability will increase the possibility of an
early observation of disease such as cancer. Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) is primarily a noninvasive
medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize
detailed internal structure and limited function of the
body
