Aim: Transplantation of liver cells is a promising approach for treating certain liver diseases. Labelling of hepatocytes prior to transplantation with micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIOs) enables non-invasive detection of transplanted cells by clinical MR equipment. However, techniques for eva...
