Detection of cancer with electrical impedance tomography |
摘要 |
The use of nanoparticles for imaging a tumor in a mammal using electrical impedance tomography. The nanoparticles comprise a core of metal and/or semiconductor atoms to which are linked ligands that comprise a molecule capable of attaching to a specific tumor biomarker. |

1. A method of obtaining an image of a tumour located in a body of a mammal, said method comprising targeting nanoparticles to the tumour, said nanoparticles having a metal core of mean diameter of from 0.5 nm to 10 nm and of core material consisting of gold or a combination of gold and ferrous iron, and a ligand linked to the core and capable of attaching to a tumour biomarker and imaging the tumour by detecting location of the nanoparticles attached to the tumour using electrical impedance tomography (EIT). |
