This research developed a single contrast agent based on hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] nanoparticles with Ag+ ions substitution to improve image quality. The samples of Ca10-xAgx(PO4)6(OH)2 with Ag concentrations (0 = x = 0.0028) were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The results showe...
