What are the Applications of Nanotechnology in Brain Imaging?
Nanotechnology has multiple applications in brain imaging:
Targeted Contrast Agents: Nanoparticles can be functionalized to target specific cellular markers, providing enhanced contrast in imaging specific brain regions or pathological tissues. Molecular Imaging: Using nanoparticles to visualize molecular and cellular processes in real time, aiding in understanding diseases at the molecular level. Drug Delivery: Combining imaging and treatment, nanoparticles can deliver therapeutic agents directly to the brain while simultaneously monitoring the treatment process.
