CORE AND CORE-SHELL NANOPARTICLES CONTAINING IODINE FOR X-RAY IMAGING

摘要

Nanoparticles having an average particle size of less than 2000 nm, wherein said nanoparticles comprise a polymer having pendant cleavable iodine substituted groups are provided. Processes for preparing the nanoparticles and their use as a contrast agent for X-ray imaging are also described.
