Absolute MR thermometry using nanocarriers

In conclusion, nanocarrier materials may serve as highly versatile tools for tumor‐targeted drug delivery, acting not only as hyperthermia‐responsive drug delivery systems, but also as accurate and precise nano‐thermometers. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Nanocarriers, such as PEGylated liposomes, polymeric micelles and HPMA copolymers, may serve as highly versatile tools for tumor‐targeted drug delivery, acting not only as hyperthermia‐responsive drug‐delivery systems, but also as accurate and precise absolute nano‐thermometers.
