How can Nanotechnology improve diagnostics in the circulatory system?
Traditional diagnostic methods often lack the sensitivity required to detect early stages of cardiovascular diseases. Nanoparticles, due to their small size and unique properties, can be engineered to target specific tissues or cells. For instance, quantum dots can be used for imaging purposes, offering high-resolution images of blood vessels and tissues. Magnetic nanoparticles can enhance the contrast in MRI scans, making it easier to detect anomalies in the circulatory system.
