Effect of Neodymium Doping on MRI Relaxivity of Gadolinium Oxide Nanoparticles.

Background: Gadolinium oxide nanoparticles as positive contrast material of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have attracted a great attention due to the appropriate magnetic properties. One of the most desirable features of these nanoparticles is their ability of doping with other lanthanides which can change their properties.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of neodymium doping on MRI relaxivity of the gadolinium oxide nanoparticles.
