Applications of Magnetic Microbubbles for Theranostics
Compared with other diagnostic methods, ultrasound is proven to be a safe, simple, non-invasive and cost-effective imaging technique, but the resolution is not comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound employing microbubbles can gain a better resolution and is now widely used to diagnose a number of diseases in the clinic. For the last decade, microbub...
متن کاملMicrobubbles: from cancer detection to theranostics
Microbubbles have proven to be useful as diagnostic agents for ultrasound[1,2]. However, they have the potential for a far wider range of uses, both in unmodified form (thus minimising regulatory barriers) and in new forms[3]. These future uses may be divided into diagnostic and therapeutic categories. Routine diagnostic uses of microbubbles relevant to oncology are mainly in the liver, where t...
متن کاملUltrasound microbubbles for molecular diagnosis, therapy, and theranostics.
Ultrasound imaging is clinically established for routine screening examinations of breast, abdomen, neck, and other soft tissues, as well as for therapy monitoring. Microbubbles as vascular contrast agents improve the detection and characterization of cancerous lesions, inflammatory processes, and cardiovascular pathologies. Taking advantage of the excellent sensitivity and specificity of ultra...

This theme issue provides a timely collection of studies on magnetic nanoparticle-based imaging, bio-sensing, therapy and/or their combinations.
متن کاملRemotely Triggered Nano-Theranostics For Cancer Applications
Nanotechnology has enabled the development of smart theranostic platforms that can concurrently diagnose disease, start primary treatment, monitor response, and, if required, initiate secondary treatments. Recent in vivo experiments demonstrate the promise of using theranostics in the clinic. In this paper, we review the use of remotely triggered theranostic nanoparticles for cancer application...
