What Lung Diseases Can Be Diagnosed Using Nanotechnology?
Several lung diseases can be diagnosed more effectively using nanotechnology, including:
Lung Cancer: Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Nanotechnology can detect tumor markers at very low concentrations, allowing for earlier diagnosis. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): By detecting specific biomarkers in breath or blood, nanotechnology can aid in early diagnosis and monitoring of COPD progression. Tuberculosis (TB): Nanotechnology can enhance the sensitivity and specificity of TB detection methods, making it easier to diagnose and control the spread of the disease. Asthma: Nanosensors can detect specific inflammatory markers, helping in the early diagnosis and management of asthma.
