Advances in noninvasive diagnostic testing using nanoparticles

Diagnostic testing in oncology often relies on radiographic images such as ultrasound, x-ray, colonoscopy, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography (PET), or multigated acquisition scans. However, the results of these imaging tests are sometimes limited, especially when cancer is in early stages. Additionally, masses may be occasionally identified on radiology exams only to be deemed benign...
