Synthesis and characterization of PVP coated gadolinium oxide nanoparticles for imaging applications

In this study, polyol method is used to study the fabrication of Gd2O3 nanoparticles for MRI and CT imaging applications. The obtained Gd2O3 nanoparticle surfaces were then encapsulated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer as a bio-responsive shell.
