<h4>Background</h4>To develop liposomes loaded with iodinated agents as nanosized CT/MRI bimodal contrast agents for monitoring liposome-mediated drug delivery.<h4>Methods</h4>Rhodamine-labeled iodixanol (Visipaque<sup>TM</sup>)-loaded liposomes (IX-lipo) were prepared and tested for their properties as a diamagnetic CEST contrast agent <i>in vitro</i>. Mice bearing subcutaneous CT26 colon tumors were injected i.v. with 1 g/kg (535 mg iodine/kg) IX-lipo, and <i>in vivo</i> CT and CEST MR images ...[more]
