Nanotechnology is being applied in various imaging techniques:
- MRI: Iron oxide nanoparticles enhance the contrast in MRI scans, making it easier to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissues. - CT Scans: Gold nanoparticles improve contrast in Computed Tomography (CT) scans, aiding in the detection of tumors. - Optical Imaging: Quantum dots are used in optical imaging to track the movement of molecules in real-time.
