One-step continuous synthesis of biocompatible gold nanorods for optical coherence tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel one-step flow process to synthesize biocompatible gold nanorods with tunable absorption and biocompatible surface ligands. Photothermal optical coherence tomography (OCT) of human breast tissue is successfully demonstrated using tailored gold nanorods designed to have strong absorption in the near-infrared range.

Optical coherence tomography with plasmon resonant nanorods of gold.
We explored plasmon resonant nanorods of gold as a contrast agent for optical coherence tomography (OCT). Nanorod suspensions were generated through wet chemical synthesis and characterized with spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy, and OCT. Polyacrylamide-based phantoms were generated with appropriate scattering and anisotropy coefficients (30 cm(-1) and 0.89, respectively) to i...

متن کاملImaging three-dimensional rotational diffusion of plasmon resonant gold nanorods using polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography.
We demonstrate depth-resolved viscosity measurements within a single object using polarized optical scattering from ensembles of freely tumbling plasmon resonant gold nanorods (GNRs) monitored with polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography. The rotational diffusion coefficient of the GNRs is shown to correlate with viscosity in molecular fluids according to the Stokes-Einstein relatio...

Gold nanorods (GNRs) have received much attention because of their potential in a wide variety of applications such as, biological imaging, sensors, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy, drug delivery and photothermal therapy of cancer cells. Seedmediated growth in the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTABr) is the most widely used synthesis method to produce GNRs, comprising of at l...
متن کاملImaging gold nanorods in excised human breast carcinoma by spectroscopic optical coherence tomography.
Plasmon-resonant gold nanorods (GNRs) can serve as imaging agents for spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (SOCT). The aspect ratio of the GNRs are adjusted for maximum absorption in the far red to create a partial spectral overlap with the low-wavelength edge of the near-infrared SOCT imaging band. The spectroscopic absorption profile of the GNRs is incorporated into a depth-resolved alg...
