The positive contrast due to T1-shortening from SPIO
nanoparticles created by SWIFT sequence was applied to
quantify in-vivo biodistribution of SPIONs in major
organs of mouse at concentrations up to 2 mg Fe/ml (=35
mM), which is more than one order of magnitude higher
than was previously reported. SPIONs were delivered
intravenously. The average R1 of liver and kidney
post-injection both showed linear dependence on the iron
concentration in corresponding organ measured by ICP-MS.
SWIFT T1 mapping is a promising tool to assess SPIONs
uptake, biodistribution and clearance processes in major
organs for nanoparticle-based thermal therapy or drug
delivery systems.
