Magnetite (Fe 3O 4) nanoparticles prepared using hydrothermal approach were employed to study their potential application as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. The hydrothermal process involves precursors FeCl 2·4H 2O and FeCl 3 with NaOH as reducing agent to initiate the precipitatio...
