Large-Scale Synthesis of Bi2S3 Nanodots as a Contrast Agent for In Vivo X-ray Computed Tomography Imaging

A facile strategy for the large‐scale fabrication of Bi2S3 nanodots is presented. Surface modification and control over the size of the nanodots is easily achieved. The as‐prepared hydrophilic Bi2S3 nanodots exhibit long in vivo circulation time and, more significantly, a contrast efficacy higher th...

Summary:A facile strategy for the large‐scale fabrication of Bi2S3 nanodots is presented. Surface modification and control over the size of the nanodots is easily achieved. The as‐prepared hydrophilic Bi2S3 nanodots exhibit long in vivo circulation time and, more significantly, a contrast efficacy higher than that of the clinical iodinate agent without any adverse effect.
