The invention discloses a glucan-gadolinium MRI nanometer developer and a preparation method of the glucan-gadolinium MRI nanometer developer. According to a carrier disclosed by the invention, the glucan-polyacrylate nano-carrier is efficiently synthesized through one step by adopting a grafting copolymerization reaction induction self-assembly method, hydrazino is grafted through modification, gadolinium ions are grafted through physical or chemical bonding, finally, the glucan-gadolinium MRI nanometer developer is prepared, and the developer is a nuclear magnetic resonance developer and isapplied to the field of biomedicine. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple and efficient, the yield is high, the cost is low, for the prepared nanometer developer, the particle size is uniform, the stability is good, the loading rate of the gadolinium ions is high, the property is excellent, the longitudinal relaxation rate is high, the longitudinal relaxation rate of the prepared nanometer developer provided by the invention is 7-14 times of that of a commercial dimeglnmine gadopentetate injection (Magnevist ), and in addition, the system is low in toxicity, has good biocompatibility, and has a wide application prospect in the fields of disease diagnosis and treatment.
