摘要Magnetic resonance angiography using gadolinium-based molecular contrast agents suffers from short diagnostic window,relatively low resolution and risk of toxicity.Taking into account the chemical exchange between metal centers and surrounding protons,magnetic nanoparticles with suitable surface and interfacial features may serve as alternative T1,contrast agents.Herein,we report the engineering on surface structure of iron oxide nanoplates to boost T1 contrast ability through synergistic effects between exposed metal-rich Fe3O4(100)facets and embedded Gd2O3 clusters.The nanoplates show prominent T1 contrast in a wide range of magnetic fields with an ultrahigh r1 value up to 61.5 mM-1s-1.Moreover,engineering on nanobio interface through zwitterionic molecules adjusts the in vivo behaviors of nanoplates for highly efficient magnetic resonance angiography with steady-state acquisition window,superhigh resolution in vascular details,and low toxicity.This study provides a powerful tool for sophisticated design of MRI contrast agents for diverse use in bioimaging applications.
