Figure 8
X-ray images in mice. (a) before injection, (b) immediately, (c) 30 m, and (d) 24 h after post-tail vein injection of methoxy PEG-iodine-capped AuNPs (Au amount: 56 μmole). The heart, aorta, kidney, and liver were enhanced, respectively. The arrows indicate H: heart, L: liver, K: kidney, and a: aorta, respectively.
