Synthesis and characterization of Gd3+-loaded hyaluronic acid-polydopamine nanoparticles as a dual contrast agent for CT and MRI scans

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography (CT) suffer from low contrast sensitivity and potential toxicity of contrast agents. To overcome these limitations, we developed and tested a new class of dual contrast agents based on polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs) that are functiona...
