Magnetorelaxometry imaging (MRXI) is a non-invasive, quantitative imaging technique for magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The image resolution of this technique significantly depends on the relaxation amplitude (Δ). For this work, we measured the room temperature (299 K) relaxation signals of eight commercial MNP sample systems with different magnetic properties, in both fluid and immobilized states, in order to select the most suitable sample for a particular MRXI setting.

The qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the MNP distribution inside the body is a prerequisite for a number of arising biomedical applications, such as magnetic drug targeting and magnetic hyperthermia therapy. It was shown throughout numerous studies that MRXI is able to successfully localize and quantify MNP ensembles in volumes up to the size of a human head.
