Graphical Abstract

Kleine Tumoren sichtbar gemacht: Eine einfache Synthese, die ohne toxische Chemikalien auskommt, liefert stark magnetische einkristalline Eisen/Eisenoxid-Kern/Schale-Nanopartikel. Die Nanopartikel wirken als hoch effektive Kontrastmittel in der Kernspintomographie und ermöglichen den Nachweis von 1–3 mm kleinen Tumoren in vivo (siehe Bild).
