Differences between Nano MRI Lamp and the Conventional Mri Contrast Agent

Caption

(Left) Nano MRI Lamp is turned 'ON' only when it encounters the cancer-related molecule. Therefore, the diseased area is clearly distinguished from the other tissues in the MRI image. (Right) The existing MRI contrast agents are always turned 'ON', regardless of the presence of the target molecule, making it difficult to differentiate between the cancer area and surrounding tissues.
