Magnetically Guided Theranostics: Enhancing the Contrast of Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Multiple-Layer Montmorillonite-Based Iron/Platinum Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Orthotopic Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Abstract:In Asia, including Taiwan, malignant tumors such as Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) one of the liver cancer is the most diagnosed subtype. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a typical diagnostic method for accurately diagnosing HCC. When it is difficult to demonstrate non-enhanced MRI of tumors, radiologists can use contrast agents (such as Gd3+, Fe3O4, or FePt) for T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging, which can remain in the liver for a long time to facilitate diagnosis via MRI. However, sometimes it is… Show more
