Abstract:

PEI-conjugated BaGdF5 nanoparticles were synthesized via a one-pot facile but efficient microwave-assisted polyol process. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), FTIR spectroscopy, cytotoxicity test, CT imaging and MR imaging were used to characterize these well-prepared nanoparticles. TEM images indicated that these nanoparticles held an average diameter of 30 nm with uniform spherical character and relatively smooth surface. MTT result indicated these nanoparticles showed a very low cytotoxicity. Both in vitro and in vivo imaging results demonstrated that these nanoparticles exhibited excellent dual-modal MR and CT imaging capabilities, indicating their potential applications in further clinical areas.
