主要研究成果:Timely detection of liver fibrosis by X-ray computed tomography (CT) can prevent its progression to fatal liver diseases. However, it remains quite challenging because conventional CT can only identify the difference in density instead of X-ray attenuation characteristics. Spectral CT can generate monochromatic imaging to specify X-ray attenuation characteristics of the scanned matter. Herein, an X-ray energy-dependent attenuation strategy originated from bismuth (Bi)-based nanoprobes (BiF3@PDA@HA) is proposed for the accurate diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Bi element in BiF3@PDA@HA can exhibit characteristic attenuation depending on different levels of X-ray energy via spectral CT, and that is challenging for conventional CT. In this study, selectively accumulating BiF3@PDA@HA nanoprobes in the hepatic fibrosis areas can significantly elevate CT value for 40 Hounsfield units on 70 keV monochromatic images, successfully differentiating from healthy livers and achieving the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Furthermore, the enhancement produced by the BiF3@PDA@HA nanoprobes in vivo increases as the monochromatic energy decreases from 70 to 40 keV, optimizing the conspicuity of the diseased areas. As a proof of concept, the strategically designed nanoprobes with energy-dependent attenuation characteristics not only expand the scope of CT application, but also hold excellent potential for precise imaging-based disease diagnosis.

主要研究成果:通過X射線計算機斷層掃描(CT)及時檢測肝纖維化可以防止其發(fā)展為致命的肝病。然而,這一直很有挑戰(zhàn)性,因為常規(guī)CT只能識別密度差異,而無法探測X射線衰減特性。光譜CT可以生成單色成像來明確掃描物質(zhì)的X射線衰減特性。在此,我們提出了一種基于鉍(Bi)納米探針(BiF3@PDA@HA)的X射線能量依賴衰減策略,用于肝纖維化的精準(zhǔn)診斷。BiF3@PDA@HA中的鉍元素能夠通過光譜CT呈現(xiàn)隨著X射線能量變化的特征衰減,這對常規(guī)CT來說是很難實現(xiàn)的。在本研究中,通過選擇性地將BiF3@PDA@HA納米探針富集在肝纖維化區(qū)域,可以顯著提升70 keV單色圖像中的CT值約40 Hounsfield單位,從而成功區(qū)分健康肝臟,實現(xiàn)肝纖維化的診斷。此外,體內(nèi)BiF3@PDA@HA納米探針產(chǎn)生的增強效果會隨著單色能量從70降到40 keV而增加,從而優(yōu)化病變區(qū)域的可見性。作為概念驗證,這種策略性設(shè)計的具有能量依賴衰減特性的納米探針不僅拓展了CT的應(yīng)用范圍,也在基于成像的精準(zhǔn)疾病診斷方面顯示出極大潛力。
