We examined which gene we should transduce for genetic reporter for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by comparing T1 or T2 values of the cells followed by exposure to MnCl₂ or Holo-transferrin. We identified the cell which has the shortest T1 or T2 values and it indicates that they can be useful genetic reporter for T1 Weighted Imaging (T1WI) or T2 Weighted Imaging (T2WI).
