Abstract
A new class of soft type, vascularly constrained, stable colloidal radio-opaque metal-entrapped polymeric nanoparticle is described by using organically soluble radio-opaque elements encapsulated by synthetic amphiphile. The agent has offered several-fold computed tomographic (CT) signal enhancement in vitro and in vivo showing detection sensitivity reaching to the low nanomolar particulate concentration range.
