The ability to accurately and sensitively image tumor
iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) is essential for their
use as a therapeutic modality in clinical cancer
medicine. In this study, the quantification of IONPs in
a murine breast tumor model at high, but clinically
relevant, concentrations was done by using positive
contrast from SWIFT sequence. IONPs were administered by
intra-tumoral (IT) or intravenous (IV) injection.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and low dose radiation
enhanced IONP tumor uptake. The T1 maps measured by the
SWIFT sequence provided quantitative and qualitative
estimations of IONP at concentrations significantly
higher (x30) than previously reported.
