What Are the Advantages of Using Nanotechnology in Vascular Imaging?
Nanotechnology offers several advantages over traditional imaging techniques:
- Higher Resolution: Nanoparticles and quantum dots provide unparalleled imaging resolution, allowing for the visualization of minute details within blood vessels. - Targeted Imaging: Functionalized nanoparticles can selectively bind to specific biomarkers, ensuring precise imaging of targeted areas. - Reduced Side Effects: By focusing on specific targets, nanotechnology minimizes the exposure of non-targeted tissues, reducing potential side effects. - Real-Time Monitoring: Nanosensors enable real-time monitoring of physiological changes within blood vessels, providing immediate feedback.
