Nanoscale Rods Detect Cancer Two Ways

Nanoscale Rods Detect Cancer Two Ways
Jun-29-17
Dual-action nanoscale rods could offer a more effective method of diagnosing cancer.

The nanorods are made of europium-doped gadolinium oxide and coated with a silica layer to isolate the potentially toxic material. The rods can detected with both magnetic resonance and optical imaging techniques, which offer better localization results. The team hopes to adjust the rods to create a more powerful signal, reducing their necessary concentration levels so they can be used in clinical practice.
