Paper Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNRs) have been demonstrated as a scattering imaging agent or therapeutic agent. Because of their
narrow window, biocompatibility, and uniform small size for blood circulation, GNRs are well suited to serve as
imaging contrast agents. Especially, strong phothothermal (PT) effect is attractive for diagnostic (e.g. sentinel lymph
node biopsy) or therapeutic (e.g. PT therapy) purposes. In this paper, we demonstrate GNRs as multipurpose agents with
PT-optical coherence tomography (OCT) for imaging sentinel lymph node. The results show that GNRs are promising
for imaging contrast enhancement for visualizing the detailed functions of SLN.
