What are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Diagnosis?
There are several advantages to using nanotechnology for the diagnosis of lung diseases:
Sensitivity: Nanotechnology-based diagnostic tools can detect disease markers at very low concentrations, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses. Speed: Nano-based diagnostic methods can provide results much faster than traditional methods, which is crucial in critical care situations. Non-invasive: Many nano-diagnostic tools can be used with non-invasive samples such as breath or blood, making the process less uncomfortable for patients. Specificity: Functionalized nanoparticles can be designed to bind specifically to certain disease markers, reducing the likelihood of false positives and negatives.
