What are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in MRI?
Improved Sensitivity: Nanoparticles can be engineered to produce stronger signals, leading to higher resolution images. Targeted Imaging: Functionalized nanoparticles can selectively bind to specific tissues or cells, improving the accuracy of diagnoses. Reduced Toxicity: Some nanoparticle-based agents are designed to be biocompatible and less toxic than traditional contrast agents. Multimodal Imaging: Nanoparticles can be designed for use in multiple imaging modalities, such as MRI combined with other techniques like CT or PET scans.
