In the last several years, the emergence of novel technologies such as dual-source CT, and multi-detector CT has advanced the field of CT imaging even further.
About
Summary Development of a novel method that will provide simultaneous functional and structural imaging capabilities, with the most widely available imaging modality – the CT. We have developed Glucose Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles (GF-GNP), which like FDG, detects glucose metabolic activity while inducing distinct contrast in CT imaging. In addition, as nanoparticles have unique biodistribution properties and tumor targeting profile, this technique allows distinction between cancers and inflammatory processes
