Investigation of acoustic properties of silica coated gold nanoparticle as contrast agent for Ultrasonography
Interoduction: Ultrasound images have often low contrast due to small differences in acoustic impedance between different tissues. Air or gas microbubbles that surrounded by membrane are most of the contrast agents in ultrasound imaging. Problems such as instability in sound pressure and inability in penetrating from the blood vessel into body tissues limited the use of microbubbles into the in...
متن کاملEvaluation of the use of gold nanoparticle as contrast agent in electrical impedance imaging
Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a real time and minimal invasive imaging modality for detection of lesions in tissues even when their structures show no changes. Early detection of lesion with EIT depends on difference between electrical impedance of targeted tissue and its surroundings. Therefore, finding a contrast agent for EIT that increase this diffe...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles: a new X-ray contrast agent.
There have been few fundamental improvements in clinical X-ray contrast agents in more than 25 years, and the chemical platform of tri-iodobenzene has not changed. Current agents impose serious limitations on medical imaging: short imaging times, the need for catheterization in many cases, occasional renal toxicity, and poor contrast in large patients. This report is the first demonstration tha...
متن کاملSynthesized Gd2O3 nanoparticles as contrast agent
Introduction: Gd (III) ion has been known to be the best metal ion in the periodic table that can be used as a T1 MRI contrast agent. Gadolinium have 7 unpaired electrons and these electrons can make magnetic area. No other metal ions possess unpaired electron more than this. CAs based on the element Gd are classified as “positive”, by opposition to “negative” CAs. Nowadays, G...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Toxicity Characteristics of Cellular Uptake of Paramagnetic Nanoparticles as a New Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agent
Nanoparticles are unique that enable many promising medical and technological applications intheir physical, and chemical properties. It is widely accepted that nanoparticles should bethoroughly tested for health nanotoxicity, but a moderate risk analysis is currently prevented by arevealing absence of mechanistic knowledge of nanoparticle toxicity. The purpose of this study<b...
