Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide: an intravenous contrast agent for assessing lymph nodes with MR imaging.
Abstract
An ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) preparation was evaluated as a potential intravenous contrast agent for lymph nodes. Relaxation time measurements and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were performed in rats with normal lymph nodes and in rats with lymph node metastases. In normal animals, lymph node relaxation times decreased maximally within 24-48 hours after intravenous administration of USPIO. Twenty-four hours after administration, the T2 of normal lymph nodes had decreased from 74 msec +/- 2.2 to 30 msec +/- 0.7 (USPIO, 40 mumol of iron per kilogram) or 15 msec +/- 0.0 (200 mumol Fe/kg), whereas the T2 of metastatic nodes did not change. MR imaging of the animal model of nodal metastases confirmed the hypothesis that intravenously administered USPIO decreases signal intensity of normal but not metastatic nodes. A single intravenous administration of USPIO may allow detection of nodal metastases on the basis of signal intensity characteristics rather than the currently used, insensitive size characteristics.

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.
