Labeling Stem Cells with a New Hybrid Bismuth/Carbon Nanotube Contrast Agent for X-Ray Imaging

<div>Cell viability and Bi<sub>4</sub>C@US-tube uptake under different labeling concentration. (a) Average cell viability measured by fluorescence activation cell sorting (FACS) analysis. (b) Intracellular incorporation of Bi<sub>4</sub>C@US-tubes inferred by the concentration of Bi<sup>3+</sup> ion/cell from ICP-MS measurements. The inset shows the plot for the lower concentration range.</div>
