How Can Nanotechnology Improve Imaging in Urology?
Imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring urological conditions. Nanotechnology enhances imaging techniques by using contrast agents that provide higher resolution and better specificity. For example, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) can improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of prostate tumors, making it easier to detect and evaluate the extent of the disease.
