✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A composite of iron oxide nanoparticles and mineral matrix has been studied by XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and TEM. Magnetite and superparamagnetic magnetite have been identified by Mössbauer spectroscopy in the nanocomposite. A relationship between the hyperfine parameters and iron oxide particle size has been confirmed by TEM. The optimal concentration of “magnetite—bentonite” composite, when the MRI signal is fully reduced, was found for using this composite as a negative contrast agent.

## Abstract Recent in vitro studies suggested there is an optimal range of concentration and viscosity for a liquid formulation of oral magnetic particles (WIN 39996) for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. To determine whether this formulation is also effective in v
