What are the Key Nanotechnology Innovations in Endoscopy?
Several key innovations in nanotechnology are transforming endoscopy:
1. Nanobots: Tiny robotic devices that can navigate through the body to perform complex tasks like tissue repair or targeted drug delivery. 2. Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles that can be used in imaging to provide high-resolution and high-contrast visuals. 3. Nanoscale Coatings: These coatings can enhance the functionality of endoscopic tools, making them more biocompatible and reducing the risk of infection. 4. Nanosensors: Integrated into endoscopic devices, these sensors can detect specific biomarkers or changes in the cellular environment in real-time.
