Abstract

For diagnostic purpose, particles can be labeled with radionuclides or contain magnetizable materials making them suitable for external measurements of their biokinetics in vivo. In therapy, particles can be used as targetable drug-delivery systems or, if containing radioactivity, for internal radiation therapy. Loaded with, e.g., stable iodine, particles may also be used for photon activation therapy.
