Abstract
T(2) contrast is gaining importance in high field strength MRI. We report a strategy for developing a T(2) contrast agent from paramagnetic metal ions synthesized within an engineered protein cage. The manganese-ferritin nanocomposite showed high T(2) relaxivity indicating its potential as an ultrasensitive T(2) contrast agent. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012Entities:
