Light for life: high contrast multimodal medical imaging using inorganic fluorophores Ghent University
For many medical imaging techniques, radioactive sources are used as tracers. These tests are potentially harmful for the patient and personnel and require a lot of precautions. This project is aimed at developing an alternative and safer way of bio-imaging, based on luminescent nanoparticles. Lanthanide-doped inorganic nanoparticles which are both magnetic and luminescent will be developed. Using luminescent materials which can be excited in ...
