Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have a number of physical properties that make them appealing
for medical applications. For example, the attenuation of X-rays by gold nanoparticles has …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has the potential for real-time molecular imaging at high
resolution and deep inside the tissue, using nonionizing radiation and not necessarily …

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) can offer structural, functional and molecular contrasts at
scalable observation level. By ultrasonically overcoming the strong optical scattering, this …

Photoacoustic imaging is a biomedical imaging modality that provides functional
information, and, with the help of exogenous contrast agents, cellular and molecular …

Deliberate and local increase of the temperature within solid tumors represents an effective
therapeutic approach. Thermal therapies embrace this concept leveraging the capability of …

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Diagnosing a cancer at its early
stages of development can decrease the mortality rate significantly and reduce healthcare …

Plasmonic nanoantennas are a hot and rapidly expanding research field. Here we overview
basic operating principles and applications of novel magneto-plasmonic nanoantennas …

Magnetic nanoparticles, including those formed of superparamagnetic iron oxides (SPIOs),
are employed in various magnetic imaging and therapeutic techniques. In vivo imaging …

In this study, we report for the first time the use of silica-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide
nanoparticles (SPION) as contrast agents in biomedical photoacoustic imaging. Using …

Current methods for intra-surgical guidance to localize metastases at cancer surgery are
based on radioactive tracers that cause logistical challenges. We propose the use of a novel …
