Nanoparticle ultrasound contrast agents with high acoustic activity

Summary Contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for low-cost minimally-invasive imaging; however, the size of typical contrast reagents prevents them from penetrating tumors thereby limiting their utility for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (theranostics). Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers have developed novel nanoparticle...

Universal nanoprobes for imaging and treatment of cancer

Summary Medical imaging is currently incapable of detecting very small tumors and there is a need for new contrast agents that allow for earlier detection of cancers. The current technology is a self-assembled nanoprobe that specifically accumulates in a broad range of solid tumors to enable 1) high-resolution imaging for earlier cancer detection and...
