Development of X-Ray Visible Polymers for Non-invasive Imaging Applications

Technology Description

In a developing country like India with a population of more than 1 billion and a skewed patient to doctor ratio, follow up assessments post operation for better clinical decisions is expensive. This inovationis an effort to come up with a solution that is cost effective, as well as compatible with the existing imaging systems. It is a novel radiopaque derivative that is easily detectable with the X-ray radiography, fluoroscopy and CT. The product consists of iodine, a crosslinker and a polymer with amine linkages. The derivative is biocompatible as well as biodegradable as it is made of materials of natural origin. Additionally the derivative could be fabricated to form clinical products to fit the desired application.
