Abstract of the lecture

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important tool to obtain anatomical information on different types of tissues in a body. Temperature is a fundamental parameter reflecting the biological status of the body and individual tissues, thus it would be helpful to have temperature maps superimposed on anatomical images. I will show that small ferromagnetic ferrite particles with a strong temperature dependence of magnetization can be used to produce temperature-dependent images. I will show how one can engineer the particles in order to improve sensitivity of the method. I will comment on the physical techniques helpful to control the results of such engineering. Last but not least I will show that the contrast mechanism for micro and nano-particles is not necessarily the same.
