Fe Doped Magnetic Nanodiamonds Made by Ion Implantation as Contrast Agent for MRI

Abstract We report in this paper a new MRI contrast agent based on magnetic nanodiamonds fabricated by Fe ion implantation. The Fe atoms that are implanted into the nanodiamonds are not in direct contact with the outside world, enabling this new contrast agent to be free from cell toxicity. The imag...
