Evaluation of Tumor Microenvironment in an Animal Model using a Nanoparticle Contrast Agent in Computed Tomography Imaging

The nanoparticle contrast agent and high-resolution CT imaging facilitated visualization of co-opted and newly developed tumors vessels as well as imaging of nanoparticle accumulation within tumors. The use of this agent could provide novel insights into tumor vascular biology and could have implications on the monitoring of tumor status.
