The ability to accurately and sensitively image tumor iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) is essential for their use as a therapeutic modality in clinical cancer medicine. In this study, the quantification of IONPs in a murine breast tumor model at high, but clinically relevant, concentrations was done by using positive contrast from SWIFT sequence. IONPs were administered by intra-tumoral (IT) or intravenous (IV) injection. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) and low dose radiation enhanced IONP tumor uptake. The T1 maps measured by the SWIFT sequence provided quantitative and qualitative estimations of IONP at concentrations significantly higher (x30) than previously reported.
