Nanoparticles (NP) are expected to allow a more effective application of therapy by facilitating transport of drugs over the blood brain barrier (BBB). This experimental study focused on the development and in vivo testing of magnetite labeled NP. Following the optimization of the R1 relaxivity of different NP formulas in phantoms, the NP were administered intravenously in rats. The distribution and uptake then was assessed by T1 mapping and T1 weighted sequences. Most pronounced NP accumulations were observed in the liver and spleen. Using a histogram analysis, also a small but significant uptake was observed in the brain
