Much of the current excitement surrounding nanoscience is directly connected to the
promise of new nanoscale applications in cancer diagnostics and therapy. Because of their …

Nanoparticle-based contrast agents are quickly becoming valuable and potentially
transformative tools for enhancing medical diagnostics for a wide range of in-vivo imaging …

An ever-increasing body of literature affirms the physical and biological basis for
sensitisation of tumours to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation …

Introduction Near‐infrared (NIR) absorbing plasmonic nanoparticles enhance photothermal
therapy of tumors. In this procedure, systemically delivered gold nanoparticles preferentially …

The preferential accumulation of gold nanoparticles within tumors and the increased
photoelectric absorption due to the high atomic number of gold cooperatively account for the …

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is a rapidly emerging non-invasive imaging technology
that integrates the merits of high optical contrast with high ultrasound resolution. The ability …

We describe an application of plasmonic silica/gold nanoshells to produce a controllable
laser hyperthermia in tissues with the aim of the enhancement of cancer photothermal …

Biocompatible gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are particularly interesting for photo-thermal
therapy (PTT) of cancer treatment because of their ability to convert light into heating …

A conventional x-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) technique requires
monochromatic synchrotron x-rays to simultaneously determine the spatial distribution and …

The size and concentration of silica cores determine the size and concentration of silica/gold
nanoshells in final preparations. Until now, the concentration of silica/gold nanoshells with …
