Nanotechnology enhances X-ray imaging in several ways:
Resolution: By leveraging nanomaterials such as quantum dots and nanoparticles, the resolution of X-ray images can be significantly improved, allowing for the visualization of structures at the nanoscale. Contrast Agents: Nanotechnology enables the development of novel contrast agents that provide better image clarity and specificity. These agents can be designed to target specific tissues or cells, enhancing the diagnostic accuracy. Functional Imaging: The integration of functionalized nanoparticles can provide additional information about the biochemical and physiological processes occurring within the tissues. Reduced Radiation Dose: Nanotechnology can enhance the efficiency of X-ray imaging, potentially reducing the required radiation dose and minimizing the risks associated with exposure.
