Assessing the parameters modulating optical losses of iron oxide nanoparticles under near infrared irradiation.

ABSTRACT: Heating mediated by iron oxide nanoparticles subjected to near infrared irradiation has recently gained lots of interest. The high optical loss values reported in combination with the optical technologies already existing in current clinical practices, have made optical heating mediated by iron oxide nanoparticles an attractive choice for treating internal or skin tumors. However, the identification of the relevant parameters and the influence of methodologies for quantifying the optical losses released by iron oxide nanoparticles are not fully clear. Here, we report on a systematic study of different intrinsic (size, shape, crystallinity, and iron oxidation state) and extrinsic (aggregation, concentration, intracellular environment and irradiation conditions) parameters involved in the ph
