Air plasma for medical applications

Applications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging

Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...

Bio-Medical Applications of the Electron-Beam Plasma

The Electron-Beam Plasma (EBP) is generated by injecting an electron beam (EB) into a gaseous medium. The EBP composition is complex: generally it contains molecules, atoms, radicals and ions in stable and excited states, plasma electrons and injected beam electrons as well. At moderate pressures (Pm <10 kPa) the EBP is strongly nonequilibrium. It means that the function of the electron energy ...

Medical applications of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma

An innovative approach for producing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species is the use of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma. The technique has been applied in a wide variety of fields ranging from the micro-fabrication of electric devices to the treatment of disease. Although non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasmas have been shown to be clinically beneficial for wound healing, blood coagul...
