Nanotechnology offers novel diagnostic tools that can detect DVT at an early stage. For instance, nanoparticles can be engineered to bind to specific markers of blood clots. These nanoparticles can then be detected using imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Positron Emission Tomography (PET). This allows for precise localization and early diagnosis of clots, which is crucial for effective treatment.
