A brief account of nanoparticle contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging.
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a hybrid, nonionizing modality offering excellent spatial resolution, deep penetration, and high soft tissue contrast. In PAI, signal is generated based on the absorption of laser-generated optical energy by endogenous tissues or exogenous contrast agents leading to acoustic emissions detected by an ultrasound transducer. Research in this area over the years has s...
متن کاملCarbon Nano-Allotrope/Magnetic Nanoparticle Hybrid Nanomaterials as T2 Contrast Agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Applications
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most powerful tool for deep penetration and high-quality 3D imaging of tissues with anatomical details. However, the sensitivity of the MRI technique is not as good as that of the radioactive or optical imaging methods. Carbon-based nanomaterials have attracted significant attention in biomaterial research in recent decades due to their unique physical pr...
متن کاملGold nanoparticle contrast agents in advanced X-ray imaging technologies.
Recently, there has been significant progress in the field of soft- and hard-X-ray imaging for a wide range of applications, both technically and scientifically, via developments in sources, optics and imaging methodologies. While one community is pursuing extensive applications of available X-ray tools, others are investigating improvements in techniques, including new optics, higher spatial r...
متن کاملPolycatechol Nanoparticle MRI Contrast Agents.
Amphiphilic triblock copolymers containing Fe(III) -catecholate complexes formulated as spherical- or cylindrical-shaped micellar nanoparticles (SMN and CMN, respectively) are described as new T1-weighted agents with high relaxivity, low cytotoxicity, and long-term stability in biological fluids. Relaxivities of both SMN and CMN exceed those of established gadolinium chelates across a wide rang...
متن کامل“Contrast agents for optoacoustic imaging: design and biomedical applications”
Nanoparticles and molecular chromophores with strong optical absorption in the near-infrared spectral range can be used as contrast agents for optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging, thereby significantly enhancing sensitivity and enabling new applications of this novel and rapidly growing biomedical imaging technology.
