Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles prepared using hydrothermal approach were employed to study their potential application as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. The hydrothermal process involves precursors FeCl2·4H2O and FeCl3 with NaOH as reducing agent to initiate the precipitation of F...
