OBJECTIVE: Ferumoxytol, an iron oxide nanoparticle that targets phagocytic cells, can be
used in magnetic resonance imaging of malignant brain tumors and can be administered as
a bolus, allowing dynamic imaging. Our objectives were to determine the optimum time of
delayed contrast enhancement of ferumoxytol, and to compare ferumoxytol and gadolinium
contrast agents for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion. METHODS: Twelve
patients with malignant brain tumors underwent serial magnetic resonance imaging multiple …
