Article Synopsis
- Contrast-enhanced dual-energy mammography (DEM) can detect tumors better in dense breast tissue than standard mammography, but traditional iodine-based contrast agents have significant limitations, including use restrictions and high doses.*
-
- The study introduces ultrasmall molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles (MoS NPs) that are biocompatible and produce higher image contrast in DEM compared to conventional contrast agents like iopamidol.*
-
- MoS NPs also show rapid elimination from the body, reducing concerns about long-term toxicity, which suggests they could effectively serve as dual-modality contrast agents for both DEM and CT imaging.*
