Carbon nanotube containing gadolinium ions, illustration. Carbon atoms are red and gadolinium ions are green. The gadolinium ions sit in defects in the nanotube wall. Such nanotubes could be used to deliver gadolinium, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, to the body. Gadolinium agents improve the quality of MRI images by improving the contrast of soft tissues. | |
