Healthy is Lifestyle

Now you do not need to linger or even stay in the emergency room only to have the test to know your illness. A new technology using nanoparticles injection developed by Dr. Dipanjan Pan, at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, allows for a few hours only to get to know the location of a blood clot.

A nanoparticle containing a million atoms of bismuth which is a toxic heavy metal that can be displayed on a spectral CT scanners. This allows a spectral scanners that use the entire spectrum of X-ray beam can be used to distinguish objects by drawing colored metal.

Nanoparticles are also made using a compound of bismuth atoms in which attached to the fatty acid chain, so even if inserted into the body will remain safe as it will not come apart. Given molecule to the surface of the nanoparticles will attract the particle to blood clots that bismuth will bring up the color on the spectral CT scan images. This technology also allows for healing the cause of a blood clot by adding a healing agent in the nanoparticles injection.
