The majority of the clinically approved iron oxide nanoparticles (IO NPs) used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been withdrawn from the market either due to safety concerns or lack of profits. To address this challenge, liposomes have been used to prepare IO-based <i>T</i><sub>2</sub> contrast agents. We studied the influence of different phospholipids on the relaxivity (<i>r</i><sub>2</sub>) values of magneto-liposomes (MLs) containing magnetic NPs in the bilayer, wh ...[more]
