Abstract

Electrodeposited Fe and Fe-Au nanowires were studied for potential as MRI contrast agents, especially for T<sub>2</sub>-weighted imaging. Transverse relaxivities up to r<sub>2</sub> = 77.1 mM Fe<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (at 1.5 T) were achieved when Fe-Au nanowires were coated with thiol and carboxylic acid functionalized poly(ethyleneglycol). T<sub>2</sub>-Weighted images (9 T) verified successful contrast.
