THE ROLE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MOLECULAR IMAGING BY USING FLUORESCENT QUANTUM DOTS
Journal Title: Internet Journal of Medical Update - Year 2011, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Giant strides in knowledge about nanoparticles have lead to the development of sophisticated fluorescent quantum dots that have enhanced our understanding of the disease process as well as the healing mechanism following appropriate therapy. This article focuses on various aspects of fluorescent quantum dots which are now knocking at our doors to let them in to assist us in molecular imaging.
