How Can Nanotechnology Help in Diagnosing Atherosclerosis?
Recent advances in nanotechnology have opened new avenues for the early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Nanoparticles can be designed to target specific biomarkers associated with plaque formation. These nanoparticles can be tagged with fluorescent markers or magnetic properties, allowing for enhanced imaging techniques such as MRI or CT scans. This results in higher resolution images and early detection of arterial plaque.
