Abstract
Liposome is by far the most successful drug delivery vesicle commercialized for clinical use, and can fundamentally modify the performance and clearance of encapsulated drug. The encapsulation of contrast medium of computed tomography in liposome could improve the lesion screening efficiency by EPR effect of liposome, and prevent the incidence of contrast medium induced nephropathy by shielding of liposome.
