From: Iodinated Polyesters with Enhanced X-ray Contrast Properties for Biomedical Imaging
Quantitative measurements of relative X-ray intensity. (A) Relative X-ray intensity of iodinated poly(lactic) acid (iPLA) synthesized using various reaction times, in comparison to iodinated polycaprolactone (iPCL). Three repeats were used. Statistical analyses were performed using a two-tailed t-test and statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. (B) Depiction of polymeric pellets (10 mg) composed of poly(lactic) acid (PLA), iodinated polycaprolactone (iPCL), and iodinated poly(lactic) acid (iPLA) copolymers synthesized using 6, 12, and 24 hours reaction times. (C) In vitro imaging of iPLA powder through different depth of chicken tissue (0 cm, 2 cm, and 5 cm thick chicken tissue).
