In tests in cultured cancer cells, Irudayaraj's group found that MRI scans of their composite gold and iron-oxide probes produced a much higher contrast image than iron-oxide particles would on their own (a 'relaxivity' of 248 mM

Meade, Ho and their colleagues developed a Gd-nanodiamond complex that, in a series of tests, demonstrated a significant increase in relaxivity and, in turn, a significant increase in contrast enhancement.
