The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first clinical trial of a new technology that uses radiolabeled nanoparticles to brighten cancer cells so they can be detected by a PET-optical imaging camera.
Researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and Cornell University are collaborating with Hybrid Silica Technologies, a Cornell start-up company, and Dutch optical imaging developer O2view on the project and clinical trial.
