Semiconductor Quantum Dots as fluorescent probes for cancer localisation and sentinel lymph node biopsy
Quantum Dots (QDs) are fluorescent nanoparticles that can be used as fluorescent probes for cancer localisation and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). The current tracers for SLNB including the blue dye and radiocolloid have various drawbacks limiting their widespread use. Near Infrared (NIR) QDs ca...
