Are There Any Risks Associated with Nanotechnology in Medical Imaging?
While nanotechnology offers significant benefits, there are potential risks that need to be addressed:
Toxicity: Some nanoparticles may be toxic to human cells. Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanoparticles do not trigger adverse immune responses. Clearance: The bodyâs ability to clear nanoparticles after imaging to prevent accumulation.
Ongoing research is focused on developing biocompatible and safe nanoparticles to mitigate these risks.
