Lanthanide nanoparticles as vascular contrast agents for micro - CT
Introduction Vascular development is extensively studied in small animals. Micro-CT is routinely used to study the vasculature and it requires a high-attenuating contrast agent to remain in the blood pool during in vivo imaging (i.e. tens of minutes). This can be achieved by using polymer-encapsulated nanoparticles exceeding 10 nm in diameter. Although nanoparticle agents exist for micro-CT, th...
متن کاملLanthanide nanoparticles as vascular contrast agents for preclinical computed tomography
Introduction: Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of vascular contrast agents for preclinical computed tomography (CT). The advantage of using nanoparticles is the ability to achieve prolonged residence times for preclinical CT, which can take tens of minutes; this is attained by polymer-coated nanoparticles exceeding 10 nm in size. Although long-circulating nanopartic...
متن کاملIn vivo small animal micro-CT using nanoparticle contrast agents
Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most valuable modalities for in vivo imaging because it is fast, high-resolution, cost-effective, and non-invasive. Moreover, CT is heavily used not only in the clinic (for both diagnostics and treatment planning) but also in preclinical research as micro-CT. Although CT is inherently effective for lung and bone imaging, soft tissue imaging requires the us...
متن کاملSystematic review: Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents in diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Several MRI contrast agents (CAs) are used in medical diagnosis that gadolinium (Gd3+) is the most widely used as contrast agents. Unfortunately, its toxicity is due to its inefficiency. In this review, we discuss about the ability of SPIONs in MRI and application in Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) such as magnetite nanoparticles are used as goo...
