Abstract:
This invention provides SPIONs. The SPIONs can be coated as appropriately required for the disease—in the case of cancer treatment, (SPION Super Complex synthesis process) SPION Super Complexes will be the resulting coating-SPION structure. The SPION Super Complexes can also be formed through variations of the SPION Super Complex synthesis process. The NPVD synthesis process uses a combination of nanoimprinting lithography and reactive ion etching to create and isolate the NPVDs. Then the NPVDs can be coated as appropriate for the disease—in the case of cancer treatment, (NPVD Super Complex synthesis process) NPVD Super Complexes will be the resulting coating-NPVD structure. The NPVD Super Complexes can also be formed through the NPVD Super Complex Synthesis Process according to various techniques.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns a multifunctional superparamagnetic nanosystem and its production method for nano-biomedical imaging, human and animal, intended to be used as contrast agent (CA) for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Furthermore, it can be associated with therapies such as hyperthermia, and to the transport and targeted release of selected drugs, by conjugation with biomolecules. The multifunctional superparamagnetic nanosystem can be used as negative contrast agent, reducing the T2 value of tissues in MRI, found on the extremely high magnetic moment, under the action of a magnetic field. It can also be used as positive contrast agent. Its efficiency as MRI contrast agent allows for the usage of clinical dosages that are much lower than the ones currently administered to patients who undergo this diagnosis technique. The multifunctional superparamagnetic nanosystem provides a technological platform for several applications in nano- biomedical imaging. It is biocompatible and biodegradable, and its production is free of organic compounds and surfactants.
