Magnetic nanoparticles due to their unique magnetic phenomenon, are gaining immense interest due to the utilization of these properties for a wide variety of applications in various arena especially in biomedical field. This book chapter, therefore, summarizes the synthesis of various types of magnetic nanoparticles using different approaches depending of their ability to generate either single core of multcore magnetic nanoparticles. The various biomedical applications of magnetic nanoparticles like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), drug delivery etc. along with possible limitations and challenges for their extended applications in medicine are also discussed.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a means to guide cardiac interventions and provide excellent soft tissue contrast while avoiding radiation hazards. This paper investigates and evaluates a new Magnetic Resonance (MR)-compatible catheter for cardiac catheterization. Important mechanical properties of the catheter are measured and investigated; these include flexibility, pushability, and torquability. The mechanical performance of the MR-compatible and steerable catheter is benchmarked against three commercially-available clinical ablation catheters that are not MR-compatible. The MR-compatibility of the proposed catheter is also evaluated through an experimental study inside a 1.5 T MRI scanner. The new catheter is shown to have a mechanical performance comparable to that of existing catheters while being MR compatible.

AbstractWhen it comes to examining the brachial plexus, ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are complementary investigations. US is well placed for screening most extraforaminal pathologies, whereas MRI is more sensitive and accurate for specific clinical indications. For example, MRI is probably the preferred technique for assessment of trauma because it enables a thorough evaluation of both the intraspinal and extraspinal elements, although US can depict extraforaminal neural injury with a high level of accuracy. Conversely, US is probably the preferred technique for examination of neurologic amyotrophy because a more extensive involvement beyond the brachial plexus is the norm, although MRI is more sensitive than US for evaluating muscle denervation associated with this entity. With this synergy in mind, this review highlights the tips for examining the brachial plexus with US and MRI.
