Image enhancement : Core–shell MnO@Mn 3 O 4 urchin‐shaped nanoparticles can be synthesized by means of an anisotropic etching process and used as a pH‐activatable T 1 contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. The manganese ions released from the MnO phase in the low‐pH sites within tumor cells lead to an enhanced T 1 contrast image for the entire tumor mass.
