  • Nanoparticle-alginate gels for X-ray imaging of the vasculature
    Patent number: 11672875
    Abstract: Disclosed are capped nanoparticles that are effectively trapped within an aqueous gelling solution to produce stable gels and function as a contrast agent for vascular imaging. The contrast agent has good radioopacity, is inexpensive to produce, and is safe to handle. This provides a new method to image the fine vasculature of biological systems.
