Early detection of tumors is crucial for effective treatment. Nanotechnology enhances tumor detection through imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Nanoparticles, such as quantum dots and gold nanoparticles, are engineered to target specific tumor markers, making the tumors more visible under imaging systems. This targeted approach allows for earlier and more accurate detection.
