Abstract:
Enhanced T1 MRI contrast was observed in mesoporous gadolinosilicates co-doped with aluminium. The effect of gadolinium and aluminium dopant concentration was explored using a high-throughput workflow. The T1 relaxivity increases with lower gadolinium and higher aluminium loadings.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
