This study is focused on the cellular MRI using ultra-small super-paramagnetic (USPIO) nanoparticles. U937 macrophages are labeled with Molday Ion RhodamineB (MIRB). Cell labeling was characterized in vitro, cell proliferation and viability were not affected by the MIRB internalization. In vitro experiments were conducted at different cell concentrations and a longitudinal in vivo study was achieved. This study shows which MRI parameter (T2*, T2, or T1) is more suitable to track magnetically labeled cells in vivo and attests the ability to quantify labeled U937 cell concentration in a longitudinal study.
