Data: In vivo fate of free and encapsulated iron oxide nanoparticles after injection of labelled stem cells

This data set is composed of magnetic resonance images (MRI) that are supporting the article entitled In vivo fate of free and encapsulated iron oxide nanoparticles after injection of labelled stem cells by the same authors. Nanoparticle contrast agents are used to label stem cells and monitor their bio-distribution in pre-clinical models of disease. Due to the impact on the interpretation of imaging results, understanding the in vivo fate of the particles is important. The bio-distribution after intra-cardiac injection of labelled cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles was monitored longitudinally by MRI.
