Are There Any Challenges in Using Nanotechnology for MRI?
Despite the numerous advantages, there are challenges that need to be addressed:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanoparticles are non-toxic and biocompatible is crucial for patient safety. Regulatory Approval: Nanoparticle-based contrast agents must undergo rigorous testing and approval processes before they can be used clinically. Cost: The development and production of nanoparticle-based agents can be expensive, potentially limiting their accessibility. Long-term Effects: The long-term effects of nanoparticles in the body are still not fully understood and require further research.
