Dear Colleagues,

in medical imaging, the continuous quest to improve diagnostic performances and optimize treatment strategies is driving enormous progresses and changes on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this respect, the use of magnetic contrast agents (CA) has allowed to increase the sensitivity and specificity of MRI since the beginning. The recent developments in materials science and nanotechnology and the peculiar properties of nanomaterials have been the reasons that are triggering the use of magnetic nanostructures as promising alternatives to nowadays commercial contrast agents.

The special issue wants to focus on novelties in the synthesis procedures, characterization of magnetic nanomaterials and theoretical interpretations of their magnetic properties, being all these crucial building blocks for achieving valuable nanomaterials in MRI.

Therefore, I cordially invite front-line researchers to submit original articles and reviews in order to present the state of the art in the abovementioned research field.
