Abstract
MRI belongs to the field of biomedical imaging and is one of the most advanced applications in drug delivery and theranostics in which nanomaterials might play a major role in the near future (Wigger et al. 2015b). The MRI principle has been extensively described in literature and only an overview will be given here (cf. Laurent et al. 2008; Na et al. 2009). The fact that each atom has its own atomic spin can be used to visualize soft tissues and organs of the human body.
This chapter is mainly based on the articles of Filser et al. (2013) (with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry); and Wigger et al. (2015b)
