Abstract :Herein, the synthesis of the macroaggregated albumin particles was carried out under different conditions for the size optimization that can be used in Magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging. The size distribution analysis was performed with the Mastersizer and optimized MAA had 31.57 µm size and 0.36 PDI value. Morphological analysis was done with SEM. EDX and FT-IR analyzes were performed by forming Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes with optimized MAA. MAA complexes that can be used in lungs and liver imaging have been successfully obtained.Keywords : MAA, Eu(III) complexes, Tb(III) complexes, Magnetic resonance imaging, Fluorescence imaging
