In this study, a high‐performanceT1–T2dual‐model contrast agent by gadolinium‐doped iron oxide nanoparticle (GION) is developed. Following its development, the application of this agent in vivo by combining doxorubicin (DOX) and folic acid (FA) (FA–GION–DOX) for targeted drug delivery to monitor cancer treatment is explored. GION showed transverse and longitudinal relaxivities up to 182.7 × 10−3and 7.87 × 10−3m−1s−1, respectively, upon Gd/Fe ratio in GION at 1/4. DOX released from FA–GION–DOX is pH dependent and only kills cancer cell after FA receptor‐mediated internalization into the acidic environment of endosomes and lysosomes. Systemic delivery of FA–GION–DOX significantly inhibits the growth of tumors and shows good magnetic resonance enhancement in a human cervical cancer xenograft model. Thus, FA–GION–DOX has a potential application for the targeted and magnetic resonance imaging guided therapy of cervical cancer.
