Perovskite nanoparticles as contrast agents for molecular imaging and anti-cancer theranostics (2019)
Thesis
AL Habsi, S. K. S. (2019). Perovskite nanoparticles as contrast agents for molecular imaging and anti-cancer theranostics. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223738

Nanoparticles (NPs) offer diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities not accessible with microscale particles. As the field of molecular imaging has risen up out of the mixing of molecular biology with medicinal imaging, the use of NPs as imaging contra...

Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents (2015)
Thesis
Jones, N. E. (2015). Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218445

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common medical imaging modality that does not require the administration of radiopharmaceuticals, as it relies on the inherent nuclear spin of the protons in the tissues and organs. However, it lacks sensitivity... Read More about Metal oxide nanoparticles as potential MRI contrast agents.

Rational chemical design of solar-powered nano photocatalysts for environmental applications (2015)
Thesis
