Rapid Sonochemically-Assisted Green Synthesis Of Highly Stable And Biocompatible Platinum Nanoparticles As Novel Contrast Agent For Computed Tomography

Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) have some intrinsic properties, including good resistance to corrosion, chemical attacks, high surface area to volume ratio and hold massive potential to be strong contenders for CT imaging contrast agent due to their advantages of high X-ray absorption. However, the...
