Nano‑Enabled CT for Cancer Imaging: From Molecular Targeting to Image‑Guided Therapy
Abstract: Nano‑enabled computed tomography (CT) exploits high‑atomic‑number (high‑Z) nanomaterials engineered with targeting ligands and therapeutic payloads to enhance contrast, enable molecular imaging, and support image‑guided interventions in oncology. Tumor‑specific nanoprobes such as RGD‑modified gold nanorods, polymer‑coated bismuth nanoparticles, and peptide, antibody, or aptamer‑functionalized platforms can intensify tumor conspicuity, allow early lesion detection and staging, and provide real‑time treatment monitoring. Integration of CT visibility with photothermal, photodynamic, chemo‑, radio‑, and immunotherapeutic functions …
