Title

An X-Ray Computed Tomography Imaging Agent Based On Long-Circulating Bismuth Sulphide Nanoparticles

Abstract

The utilization of polymer-coated Bi2S3 nanoparticle preparation, as an injectable imaging agent in computed tomography (CT), was investigated. The polymer-coated bismuth sulfide nanoparticles (BPNP) were synthesized by a two-step protocol adapted to give homogeneous preparations which is more suitable for parenteral use. The application of nanoparticulate imaging probes to X-ray CT imaging have a significant impact on health care, owing to the ubiquitous nature of CT in the clinical setting. The results show that the lower volumes of BPNP can be used without confronting viscosity problems and they also have long vascular half-life.
