X-ray computed tomography(CT) has been widely used as a powerful diagnostic tool in clinics because it can provide high-resolution 3D tomography of the anatomic structure based on the distinctive X-ray absorptions between different tissues. Currently, CT contrast agents are mainly small iodinated ...
X-ray contrast agentRegio isomersW3O2 complexesLigand designIn recognition of the seminal contributions of F. A. Cotton and A. Bino to the field of aqueous chemistry of organometallic, trinuclear cluster compounds of tungsten, we describe their modifications and use as contrast agents for X-ray ...
X-ray computed tomography contrast agents prepared by seeded growth of gold nanoparticles in PEGylated dendrimer Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are a potential x-ray computed tomography (CT) contrast agent. A biocompatible and bioinactive surface is necessary for applica... C Kojima,Y Umeda,M Ogawa...
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most powerful noninvasive diagnostic imaging techniques in modern medicine. Nevertheless, the iodinated molecules used as CT contrast agents in the clinic have relatively short circulation times in vivo, which significantly restrict the applications of this...
Herein,we review the recent progress of single crystal perovskite X-ray detectors.First, we briefly introduced the basic concepts, detection mechanisms, figureof merits of perovskite X-ray detectors, and the preparation methods ofsingle crystal perovskites. Then, we summarized the significant ...
A CT scanner has been used to measure liver enhancement with two liver-directed contrast media, iodipamide and iosulamide, in dogs. The results following slow, and rapid infusions suggested increased liver retention of iosulamide while with iodipamide enhancement appeared to be mainly a function...
Functionalized gold nanoparticles were applied as contrast agents for both in vivo X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging. These particles were obtained by encapsulating gold cores within a multilayered organic shell which is composed of gadolinium chelates bound to each other through disulfide bonds. The...
Metallic nanoparticles as X-Ray computed tomography (CT) contrast agents: A review. J. Mol. Struct. 2020, 1219, 128599. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Inose, T.; Kitamura, N.; Takano-Kasuya, M.; Tokunaga, M.; Une, N.; Kato, C.; Tayama, M.; Kobayashi, Y.; Yamauchi, N.; Nagao...
X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) is an emerging molecular imaging modality for preclinical and clinical applications with high atomic number contrast agents. XFCT allows detection of molecular biomarkers at tissue depths of 4-9mm at L-shell energies and several centimeters for K-shell ...
Vertebrate models provide indispensable paradigms to study development and disease. Their analysis requires a quantitative morphometric study of the body, organs and tissues. This is often impeded by pigmentation and sample size. X-ray micro-computed tom
