Abstract

In recent years, paramagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This paper reports the fabrication and toxicity evaluation of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-functionalized holmium oxide (Ho₂O₃) NPs for potential T₂-weighted MRI applications. Various characterization techniques were used to examine the morphology, structure and chemical properties of the prepared PEG–Ho₂O₃ NPs. MRI relaxivity measurements revealed that PEG–Ho₂O₃ NPs could generate a strong negative contrast in T₂-weighted MRI. The pilot cytotoxicity experiments showed that the prepared PEG–Ho₂O₃ NPs are biocompatible at concentrations less than 16 µg/mL. Overall, the prepared PEG–Ho₂O₃ NPs have potential applications for T₂-weighted MRI imaging.
