This presentation is a simple explain of Bionanoimaging which introduce this area completely. You can use this PPTx File to present in your class and seminars as well. I prepare this file to present in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences when I was a MSc Medical Nanotechnology student. It will be useful for you too.

An unexpected journey to a wonderful world
Nowadays we use in cancer detection,
molecular imaging, MRI & US
Some facilities and materials are
prerequisite to reach our goals
So we should classify Mehdi Soleymani these Goloujeh

7. QUANTUM DOTS
• Emission of photons under excitation, which are visible
• Emission depends on size not on the material
“Size Matters”
• Smaller the dot –
• Larger the dot – red end of spectrum
• They can also be tuned
beyond visible light to
IR or UV

8. Quantum dots (QDs) are incredibly small particles. They range between 2
to 10 nanometers in diameter, which is equivalent to 50 atoms
A quantum dot as this: tiny pieces of matter with unique properties,
including the ability to emit light at very specific wavelengths. Sort of like
microscopic pieces of glitter that glow green, red, or blue depending on their
size.
The colour light that a quantum dot emits is directly related to its size;
smaller dots appear blue, larger ones more red.
Quantum dots are a "semiconductor nano-crystal

9. The smaller the nanoparticle, the higher the energy difference between the valence band
and conduction band, which results in a deeper blue color. For a larger nanoparticle, the
energy difference between the valence band and the conduction band is lower, which shifts
the glow toward red.
Quantum dots are very, very tiny particules on the order of a nanometer in size. They are
composed of a hundred to a thousand atoms. These semiconductor materials can be made
from an element, such as silicon or germanium, or a compound, such as CdS or CdSe.
These tiny particles can differ in color depending on their size. Below is a collection of CdSe
quantum dot nanoparticles that different in size as a result of how long they were allowed to
form in the synthersis reaction

The quantum dots (QD) can be injected to a
subject, and then be detected by exciting them
to emit light

11. QD LOCALIZATION OF A TUMOR
A. It is possible to overlap X-ray images with infrared images to localize a tumor. The X-ray
images give the images an anatomical context, while the infrared images detect the QD’s
emission, which correlates to the tumor location (see B.)

Ultrasound is currently a well-established technology enabling real-time imaging of the

human body
Traditional ultrasound, however, has its own limitation including increase in
attenuation with increasing insonating frequency, yielding low resolution of thicker
structures, and thus prohibiting deeper scans
A possible solution to overcoming the issues of deep scans and achieving improved
resolution is the use of contrast agents (CA) for ultrasound imaging [25, 26]. The
ultrasound imaging contrast agents (UICA) can be classified into liposomes, polymeric
nanosomes, and these are further classified according to the type of ultrasound agent
encapsulated in them.
