• Labelling of olfactory ensheathing cells with micron-sized particles of iron oxide and detection by MRI 

      Sandvig, Ioanna; Hoang, Linh; Sardella, Thomas CP; Barnett, SC; Brekken, Christian; Tvedt, Kåre; Berry, Martin; Haraldseth, Olav; Sandvig, Axel; Thuen, Marte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      A crucial issue in transplant‐mediated repair of the damaged central nervous system (CNS) is serial non‐invasive imaging of the transplanted cells, which has led to interest in the application of magnetic resonance imaging ...
    • Mn-alginate gels as a novel system for controlled release of Mn2+ in manganese-enhanced MRI 

      Mørch, Yrr Asbjørg; Sandvig, Ioanna; Olsen, Øystein; Donati, Ivan; Thuen, Marte; Skjåk-Bræk, Gudmund; Haraldseth, Olav; Brekken, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The aim of the present study was to test alginate gels of different compositions as a system for controlled release of manganese ions (Mn2+) for application in manganese‐enhanced MRI (MEMRI), in order to circumvent the ...
    • Nanoparticle-stabilized microbubbles for multimodal imaging and drug delivery 

      Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg; Hansen, Rune; Berg, Sigrid; Åslund, Andreas; Glomm, Wilhelm; Eggen, Siv; Schmid, Ruth; Johnsen, Heidi; Kubowicz, Stephan; Snipstad, Sofie; Sulheim, Einar; Hak, Sjoerd; Singh, Gurvinder; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Blom, Hans; Davies, Ruth Catharina de Lange; Stenstad, Per Martin (Journal article, 2015)
      Microbubbles (MBs) are routinely used as contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. The use of ultrasound in combination with MBs has also attracted attention as a method to enhance drug delivery. We have developed a technology ...
