title: Highly dispersible, superparamagnetic magnetite nanoflowers for magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: A one-pot reaction process was developed to synthesize highly dispersible, superparamagnetic Fe(3)O(4) nanoflowers; the potential of these nanoflowers as MRI contrast agents was investigated.
