Nanotechnology contrast agents for computed tomography (CT) (Nanowerk Spotlight) Computed tomography (CT) scans are an imaging method that use x-rays to create pictures of cross-sections of the body. Many CT scans involve intravenously injected iodinated contrast agents – also called radiocontrast agents – in order to increase the sensitivity of the scan. One problem with conventional iodinated contrast agents is ... Read More »
