Dy-compounds are promising candidates for MRI contrast agent. Dy3+ has the shortest electronic relaxation time and highest magnetic moment (10.6 B) which induce water proton relaxation that primarily affect T2. It increases significantly with the external magnetic field, and is proportional to the square of the magnetic moment of the Dy3+ ion. Dy(OH) 3 nanostructures were examined for their possible use in MR imaging and tracking of cells by investigating their cytotoxic behaviors.
