Magnetic nanoparticles have been investigated for a broad range of clinical and diagnostic applications including immunoassays, targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic hyperthermia.[1–4] One of the earliest clinical applications of magnetic nanoparticles was the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide to enhance image contrast in MRI,[5–8] due to the ability of these nanoparticles to increase proton relaxation rates. Coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with dextran provides a non-toxic and non-immunogenic material that circulates effectively in the body, allowing enhanced imaging of liver, spleen and lymphatic tissues. These particles are used clinically to deliniate hepatic lesions in patients with cirrohis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to identify lymph node metastases.[5, 9] The superparamagnetic materials are sequestered within Kupffer cells, whose function is to recycle iron from non-viable red blood cells. Malignant HCC tissues lack functional Kupffer cells, resulting in reduced uptake of the nanoparticles compared to healthy tissue. More recently, methods have been developed that allow SPIONs to aid in the detection of solid tumors.[9–15]Imaging of early stage tumors provides a significant challenge—delivering sufficient quantities of superparamagnetic nanomaterials to generate detectable contrast is not readily achieved with smaller tumors. Simply increasing the size of the superparamagnetic nanoparticle can improve its magnetic response, but circulation time and biocompatibility are compromised. There is also a finite upper limit on nanoparticle size—at~ 20 nm the properties of iron oxide transition from superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic.[16, 17] An alternate approach to increase magnetic saturation is to create clusters of smaller
