Abstract
This invention provides organic-inorganic hybrid particles containing as the essential components a block copolymer comprising an uncharged hydrophilic polymer chain segment and a polymer chain segment containing a repeated structural unit having a carboxylate ion group at its side chain; calcium ion (Ca), phosphate ion (PO) or carbonate ion (CO), or a mixture of these anions; and a contrast agent. The particles provide, in particular, carriers for stably delivering an MRI contrast agent to a target site.
