Cationic Contrast Agents for Cartilage Imaging for Early Diagnosis of Arthritis

Ambika Bajpayee, associate professor, bioengineering, published a paper, “Cationic Carrier Mediated Delivery of Anionic Contrast Agents in Low Doses Enable Enhanced Computed Tomography Imaging of Cartilage for Early Osteoarthritis Diagnosis,” in the journal ACS Nano. The research details the creation of positively charged contrast agents that can target cartilage tissue in joints affected by osteoarthritis, enabling CT imaging at very low doses. It demonstrates that CT scanning can be a viable imaging modality for early detection of osteoarthritis and staging of its severity.
