Abstract |
Gadolinium-based nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) have gained significant momentum as a promising nanoplatform for detecting tumor tissue in medical diagnosis, due to their favorable capability of enhancing the longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of individual gadolinium ions, delivering to the region of interest a large number of gadolinium ions, and incorporating different functionalities. This mini-review highlights the latest developments and applications, and simultaneously gives some perspectives for their future development.
