We have recently developed a new blood pool contrast agent (Fe3O4@SiO2/PEG) which possesses higher transverse relaxivity and long intravascular half-life. This study was aimed to assess the ability of Fe3O4@SiO2/PEG to improve high-resolution magnetic resonance angiography in visualizing cerebral microvasculature.
