Using nanoparticles in medicine for liver cancer imaging

ABSTRACT

One of the most important types of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]. HCC is the fifth most common cancer, and its correct diagnosis is very important. For the quick diagnosis of HCC, the use of nanoparticles is helpful. The major applications of nanoparticles are in medicine for organ imaging. Two methods of liver imaging are X-ray computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]
