The integration of preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) methods has significantly enhanced the area of therapy and imaging of targeted nanomedicine. Nanotheranostics, which make use of nanoparticles, are a significant advancement in MRI and CT imaging. In addition to giving high-resolution anatomical features and functional information simultaneously, these multifunctional agents improve contrast when used. In addition to enabling early disease detection, precise localization, and personalised therapy monitoring, they also enable early disease detection. Fusion of MRI and CT enables precise in vivo tracking of drug-loaded nanoparticles. MRI, which provides real-time monitoring of nanoparticle distribution, accumulation, and release at the cellular and tissue levels, can be used to assess the efficacy of drug delivery systems. The precise localization of nanoparticles within the body is achievable through the use of CT imaging. This technique enhances the capabilities of MRI by providing high-resolution anatomical information. CT also allows for quantitative measurements of nanoparticle concentration, which is essential for evaluating the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of nanomedicine. In this article, we emphasize the integration of preclinical MRI and CT into molecular imaging and therapy for advanced diseases.
临床前磁共振成像(MRI)和计算机断层扫描(CT)方法的整合,极大地增强了靶向纳米医学的治疗和成像领域。纳米治疗学利用纳米粒子,是 MRI 和 CT 成像的重大进展。这些多功能制剂不仅提高了对比,还能同时提供高分辨率的解剖特征和功能信息。除了能够进行早期疾病检测、精确定位和个体化治疗监测外,它们还能实现早期疾病检测。MRI 和 CT 的融合能够实现载药纳米粒子的精确体内跟踪。MRI 可以实时监测纳米粒子在细胞和组织水平上的分布、积累和释放,从而评估药物输送系统的疗效。通过 CT 成像,可以实现纳米粒子在体内的精确定位。该技术通过提供高分辨率的解剖信息来增强 MRI 的功能。CT 还可以对纳米粒子浓度进行定量测量,这对于评估纳米医学的药代动力学和生物分布至关重要。在本文中,我们强调了临床前 MRI 和 CT 与先进疾病的分子成像和治疗的整合。
