Abstract:

We demonstrate the application of polydopamine-coated gold nanorods in the CT imaging of rat submandibular gland. Biocompatible polydopamine was coated on the surface of gold nanorods to lower the toxicity. CT value rises with the increase of the concentration of polydopamine-coated gold nanorods in vitro, which indicates the high sensitivity to X-ray. The polydopamine-coated gold nanorods are further applied to rat submandibular gland in vivo and radiographs are obtained. H&E staining of heart, liver, spleen, lungand kidney show no obvious inflammation for the rats.

Key words: Gold nanorods, Computerized tomography, Submandibular gland, Radiography imaging
