Core/Shell structured nanoparticles for imaging and therapy

Introduction: Nanoparticles have several exciting applications in various fields of biomedicine. It has been found that among different classes of nanoparticles core/shell is most promising for field of nano-medical imaging and therapy due to their distinct advantages. The core/shell type nanoparticles can be generally comprising of two nanoparticles one act as a core (inner ma...

Nanotechnology for molecular imaging and targeted therapy.

The recent emergence of “molecular imaging” as an integrated discipline in academic medical centers has set the stage for an evolutionary leap in diagnostic imaging and therapy.1 Molecular imaging is not a substitute for the traditional process of image formation and interpretation, but is intended to improve diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity by providing an in vivo analog of immunocytochemis...
