摘要
Albumin-stabilized Ag nanodots (ANDs) are prepared by a one-step biomineralization method. The highly crystallized nanodots have ultrasmall sizes (approximately 5.8 nm) and robust X-ray attenuation (5.7313 HU per mM Ag). The unlabeled ANDs are directly excreted from the body via the urine after in vivo X-ray computer tomography (CT) imaging application. ANDs could be used as CT imaging agents and effective photothermal therapy agents. Tumor growth inhibition reaches 90.2% after photothermal treatment with ANDs. ANDs are promising tools for in vivo CT imaging and clearable near-infrared-triggered theranostic agents.
