Description
Michael McDevitt, Debjit Chattopadhyay, Jaspreet Jaggi and colleagues tracked carbon nanotubes in mice with PET imaging, for PLOS ONE in 2007. Tiny engineered materials may one day carry drugs or imaging agents through the body. Whether they suit medicine depends first on how they meet living tissue.
The team attached yttrium-86, a radioactive label, to single walled carbon nanotubes. PET scans then showed where the tubes went in the mice. Watching a material's path is the basic safety step for any nano device. Their work gives later studies a way to follow these tubes without cutting tissue.
