Figure 7.
Subcutaneous B16-F10 melanoma tumors in mice showed positive contrast enhancement with T1-MRI and X-ray after an intratumoral injection of gadolinium-nanoshells (Gd-NS, 50 μl at 6.3 × 1012 particles/ml). (A and B) Contrast was confined to the tumor volume compared to (C and D) tumor tissue without nanoshells. Red circles denote tumors along the right flank.
