We present a simple analytical tool, which allows the calculation of the MRI diagnostics feasibility of the biogenic magnetite nanoparticles. Elevated levels of these particles are usually linked to the pathological processes, especially to neurodegenerative disorders. We showed theoretically that the biogenic magnetite itself is not sufficient for the non-invasive diagnostics and must be extended with the total iron incorporated in other biological structures.
