Real time ultrasound molecular imaging of prostate Cancer with PSMA-targeted Nanobubbles
Apr 26, 2020 — Nanomedicine Abstract Contrast-enhanced ultrasound with microbubbles has shown promise in detection of prostate cancer (PCa), but sensitivity and specificity remain challenging. Targeted nanoscale-contrast agents with improved capability to accumulate in tumors may result in prolonged signal enhancement and improved detection of PCa with ultrasound. Here we report nanobubbles (NB) that specifically […]
