Title

The Emergence Of “Magnetic And Fluorescent” Multimodal Nanoparticles As Contrast Agents In Bioimaging

Abstract

Bioimaging technologies have seen significant growth over the last two decades and are now a mainstay in research and diagnosis. Conventional imaging methods such as computed x-ray tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) are continually being advanced to enable improved diagnosis by enhancing spatial resolution and providing more reliable structural information. Although many existing imaging methods can generate contrast by exploiting anatomical heterogeneities, the obtained images are usually difficult to decipher. The demand for more sensitive imagery with improved signal-to-noise ratios has led to the rapid development of contrast agents. Today, these agents are abundantly available for nearly all imaging modalities.
