Abstract
An imaging auxiliary for medical imaging methods contains stabilizer-free superparamagnetic particles such as metal oxides and metals. Preferred are Î3—Fe2O3, Fe3O4, MnFe2O4, NiFe2O4, and CoFe2O4 and their mixtures. The auxiliary can additionally contain biologically and pharmacologically active substances such as proteins, antibodies, peptides, or oligonucleotides. The the superparamagnetic particles have a particle size of 1 nm to 500 nm. A tissue-specific substance in the form of diphosphonic acids and physiologically innocuous salts of diphosphonic acids can be added.
