Lymph Node Metastases Detection Using Gd2O3@PCD as Novel Multifunctional Contrast Imaging Agent in Metabolic Magnetic Resonance Molecular Imaging
Figure 1
(a, b, c) Schematic representation of the synthesis of the passive targeted Gd-based Nano-CA and Lymph node detection by using an MRI contrast agent that binds to PCDs. Metabolically nanoparticles with a size between 20 and 40 nm have a rapid uptake into metastatic axillary lymph nodes as well as an extremely long retention time.
