Sensitive detection of extremely small iron oxide nanoparticles in living mice using MP2RAGE with advanced image co-registration.

Abstract:

:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used non-invasive methodology for both preclinical and clinical studies. However, MRI lacks molecular specificity. Molecular contrast agents for MRI would be highly beneficial for detecting specific pathological lesions and quantitatively evaluating therapeutic efficacy in vivo. In this study, an optimized Magnetization Prepared-RApid Gradient Echo (MP-RAGE) with 2 inversion times called MP2RAGE combined with advanced image co-registration is presented as an effective non-invasive methodology to quantitatively detect T1 MR contrast agents. The optimized MP2RAGE produced high quality in vivo mouse brain T1 (or R1 = 1/T1) map with high spatial resolution, 160 × 160 × 160 µm3 voxel at 9.4 T. Test-retest signal to noise was > 20 for most voxels. Extremely small iron oxide nanoparticles (ESIONPs) having 3 nm core size and 11 nm hydrodynamic radius after polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating were intracranially injected into mouse brain and detected as a proof-of-concept. Two independent MP2RAGE MR scans were performed pre- and post-injection of ESIONPs followed by advanced image co-registration. The comparison of two T1 (or R1) maps after image co-registration provided precise and quantitative assessment of the effects of the injected ESIONPs at each voxel. The proposed MR protocol has potential for future use in the detection of T1 molecular contrast agents.
