Can magnetic resonance work without gadolinium? This element is harmful to the body, especially for the brain.
Team of Dr. Michał Godlewski from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences in cooperation with the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Veterinary Research Center has developed its own type of nanoparticles and conducts research on their use in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
– Our nanoparticles are able to detect any cancer – says Dr. Godlewski – e.g. lung cancer with 100 percent confidence.
They are not toxic, they can be administered orally, so they are excellent carriers of drugs. They are suitable for use in magnetic and fluorescence resonance. They will bring relief to patients during oncology procedures and biopsies. Precise imaging cancer changes will minimize the removal of healthy tissue. (Kp)
