Biocompatible poly(iohexol) nanoparticles, prepared through cross-linking of iohexol and hexamethylene diisocyanate followed by coprecipitation of the resulting cross-linked polymer with mPEG-polylactide, were utilized as contrast agents for in vivo X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging. Compared to conventional small-molecule contrast agents, poly(iohexol) nanoparticles exhibited substantially protracted retention within the tumor bed and a 36-fold increase in CT contrast 4 h post injection, which makes it possible to acquire CT images with improved diagnosis accuracy over a broad time frame without multiple administrations.
通过将碘海醇与六亚甲基二异氰酸酯交联,然后用聚乙二醇-聚乳酸共沉淀交联聚合物,制备出生物相容性的聚(碘海醇)纳米粒子,用作体内 X 射线计算机断层扫描(CT)成像的造影剂。与传统的小分子造影剂相比,聚(碘海醇)纳米粒子在肿瘤床内的保留时间显著延长,注射后 4 小时的 CT 对比增强 36 倍,这使得在无需多次给药的情况下,可以在更广泛的时间范围内获得具有更高诊断准确性的 CT 图像。
