Tissue phantom study of the effect of metal nanoparticles in tissue imaging

This project attempts to study the effect of metal nanoparticles, mainly silver and gold, as contrast agents on tissue imaging via Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). An effort is made to develop protocols for the synthesis of agarose tissue phantoms as well as silver nanoparticles. The Ram...
