Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …

Nanoparticle-Based Early Diagnostic Tools for Tuberculosis and Malaria in Rural India
Abstract: Malaria and Tuberculosis continue to be two major public health challenges in rural India. The interplay between an inefficient health care system, late diagnosis, and under-identification of cases contributes to the high morbidity and mortality associated with TB and Malaria. Conventional methods, such as sputum microscopy for TB, microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria, have a higher benchmark of sensitivity that requires a certain amount of time, skilled …
