Abstract

The magnetic nanoparticle materials of ferrites or ferromagnetic oxides; are enormously rapid growing and still developing due to the urgent need for their scientific importance in many applied uses, so it is not surprising that these materials are at the forefront of sales that achieve a good economic recourse for countries that depend on the strengthening industries that they directly enter, thus, it is a strong candidate for continuous scientific research and development. However, this article review will be focused on the most important field that have been used in recent years, the wide novel medical applications of biomaterials. Ferrite characteristics of the magnetic systems and crystal structure, besides the methods of preparation, will be discussed, lastly, the applications in the biomaterials including; diagnosis, therapeutics, control, enhanced MRI imaging, magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment, targeted drug and gene delivery, bio-labeling & bio-sensing, antimicrobial agents, and treatment of diseases will be briefly discussed.
