Drug Delivery via MRI
November 15, 2016 | Terry Sharrer
By “hacking” a conventional MRI machine, researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital were able to steer ferrous nanoparticles through the blood stream to a tumor site, thereby demonstrating that the MRI’s magnet could be used for drug delivery as well as imaging. Actually, the recalculation applied only 10% of the MRI’s energy to making a picture and 90% to guiding the nanoparticle (aka magnetic resonance navigation). MORE
