Advancing traumatic brain injury diagnosis through nanomaterial-based imaging technologies

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is recognized as a significant diagnostic challenge due to the complex and evolving nature of its pathophysiology, which extends beyond the resolution of conventional neuroimaging techniques such as CT and MRI. In this review, the transformative potential of nanotechnology for bridging this diagnostic gap is discussed. A systematic overview is provided of engineered nanomaterials as advanced contrast agents that significantly enhance the capabilities of two pivotal i
