Abstract

Significance: Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are currently the mainstream clinical MRI contrast agents. Some GBCAs have shown a long-term toxicity—nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF)—and Gd depositions in the brain. The NSF has triggered a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) black-box warning and a contraindication of some GBCAs. The finding of Gd depositions led to an ongoing FDA investigation to monitor their possible long-term adverse effects. Here, we present T 1 -weighted contrast-enhanced MR imaging and angiography using zwitterion-coated exceedingly small superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ZES-SPIONs) in mice and rats. Renal clearance and biodistribution results further demonstrate that ZES-SPIONs are qualitatively different from previously reported SPIONs. This work may open up opportunities to develop exceedingly small SPIONs that show effective T 1 contrast as Gd-free alternatives to GBCAs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
