Two-photon imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer cells using biofunctional gold nanorods

Transferrin-conjugated gold nanorods were used for targeting, two-photon imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer cells. The presence of nanorods significantly reduced the laser power effective for therapy.

Mobile health (mHealth) biomedical imaging paradigm

Technology assisted methods for medical diagnosis and biomedical health monitoring are rapidly shifting from classical invasive methods to handheld-based non-invasive approaches. Biomedical imagining is one of the most prominent practices of non-invasive mechanisms in medical applications. This paper considers the medical imaging schemes for Mobile Health (mHealth) applications and studies the feasibility of future mobile systems for accommodating image informatics capabilities.
