C<strong>on</strong>trast agents for Magnetic Res<strong>on</strong>ance Imaging are either paramagnetic compounds (usually<br />
Gd-complexes) or superparamagnetic nanoparticles (ir<strong>on</strong> oxide nanoparticles). The first <strong>on</strong>es are<br />
mainly used as T1 agents whereas the last <strong>on</strong>es are used as T2 agents. The interest of NMRD<br />
profiles for the characterizati<strong>on</strong> of such systems will be illustrated by three examples.<br />
The first topic c<strong>on</strong>cerns tunable-sized silica nanoparticles synthesized by the microemulsi<strong>on</strong>mediated<br />
pathway <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> used as carriers for the paramagnetic <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the luminescent probes. The near<br />
infrared luminescent agent is a ruthenium complex that was directly entrapped in the silica shell<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the paramagnetic activity comes from a Gd-DTPA derivative that is grafted <strong>on</strong> the silica<br />
surface. NMRD profiles show a str<strong>on</strong>g relaxivity enhancement when the paramagnetic complex<br />
is grafted at the nanoparticle surface.<br />
Sec<strong>on</strong>dly, the interest of nuclear magnetic res<strong>on</strong>ance (NMRD profiles) to follow <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> underst<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
the formati<strong>on</strong> of nanocrystalline magnetite by the thermal decompositi<strong>on</strong> of Fe(acac) 3 in the<br />
presence of oleic acid <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> oleylamine surfactants at high temperature during the synthetic process<br />
will also be reported.<br />
Finally, the influence of the nature of the coating (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) of ir<strong>on</strong> oxide<br />
nanoparticles <strong>on</strong> their relaxivity will be dem<strong>on</strong>strated through the example of temperatureresp<strong>on</strong>sive<br />
ir<strong>on</strong> oxide nanoparticles.<br />
