What Are the Benefits of Using Nanotechnology in CT?
Using nanotechnology in CT imaging offers several advantages:
Enhanced Contrast Agents:Nanoparticles can be engineered to serve as contrast agents that provide superior imaging quality compared to traditional agents. Targeted Imaging:Functionalized nanoparticles can be designed to target specific cells or tissues, reducing the required dose and exposure to radiation. Improved Resolution: Nanotechnology can enhance the resolution of CT images, making it possible to detect smaller abnormalities at earlier stages.
