MAGNETIC RELAXATION SWITCHING IS ONE OF THE METHODS OF BIO-NANO DIAGNOSTICS


The presence of magnetic nanoparticles in the area of a malignant tumor significantly reduces the spin-spin relaxation time of water protons in the body. The phenomenon of reducing the relaxation time of the transverse component of magnetization when introducing magnetic nanoparticles into the body called "magnetic relaxation switching" (MRSw), makes it possible to detect the presence of a malignant tumor in the human body. In this work, we obtained the criteria that the parameters of magnetic nanoparticles (diameter, concentration, and magnetic moment) must meet so that the change in the relaxation time would be noticeable during switching.
