Decreasing signal density at different echo times showed typical paramagnetic-induced _T_2 decay in different samples (A). A set of _T_2-weighted fast spin–echo images showed the strong _T_2 contrast from FeNPs and IONPs (darkening effect) in contrast to the H2O phantom (B, upper panel) while a _T_2 relaxometry map derived from the multi-TE T2 measurement showed a substantially lower _T_2 value of the FeNPs (B, lower panel). _T_2 images were recorded using a multi-TE fast spin–echo imaging sequence with a TR of 3 s and 32 TE points (starting at 6 ms with increments of 6 ms). The sample concentrations of IONPs and FeNPs shown in the Figure are 0.11 and 0.12 m

, respectively.
