Highly hydrated paramagnetic amorphous calcium carbonate nanoclusters as an MRI contrast agent
Sensitive, biocompatible and stable contrast agents for MRI are in demand. Here, the authors combine gadolinium ions with amorphous calcium carbonate to make stable paramagnetic amorphous carbonate nanoclusters with high MRI contrast and significantly improved biocompatibility over commercial gadoli...
