Small, Long Blood Half-Life Iodine Nanoparticle for Vascular and Tumor Imaging

Abstract Standard clinical X-ray contrast agents are small iodine-containing molecules that are rapidly cleared by the kidneys and provide robust imaging for only a few seconds, thereby limiting more extensive vascular and tissue biodistribution imaging as well as optimal tumor uptake. They are also...
