Iron nanoparticle contrast enhanced microwave imaging for emergent stroke: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2018Source: Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceAuthor(s): Joseph S. Hudson, Timothy K. Chung, Benjamin S. Prout, Yasunori Nagahama, Madhavan L. Raghavan, David M. HasanAbstractEmergent stroke is mostly evaluated using hospital based imaging. Quick imaging allows for rapid administration of IV thrombolysis and outcome improvement. Microwave imaging (MI) is an emerging portable imaging modality. Iron oxide nanoparticles are known to interact with microwave frequency electromagnetic radiation. In this manuscript, we provide proof of concept for a novel iron oxide nanoparticle enhance...
