Description
Bhavesh Kevadiya and a large team create a new CT scan contrast agent in a 2026 study. CT imaging uses X-rays, and contrast agents help tell soft tissues apart. Their agent places gold particles on bismuth sulfide nanorods, made by a heat-based method.
Tests showed the rods were stable, uniform, and well formed. Stem cells tolerated them at lower doses, with lower survival at higher doses. In small animals, the agent brightened soft tissues on CT scans and caused no local swelling. The authors call it proof of concept and plan versions that also carry treatments.
