title: Synthesis of Pt@Fe2O3 nanorods as MRI probes for in vivo application.
abstract: Magnetic Fe(2)O(3) nanorods with low cell toxicity were successfully synthesized via a wet-chemical method. In vivo studies with a rabbit model show that the nanorods exhibit excellent T(2) signal enhancement. This work demonstrates that magnetic nanorods may provide a new type of MR enhancement agent for use in biomedical applications.
