Bladder Cancer diagnostics using QDots "Liao and his team successfully tested two fluorescent tags and imaging technology combinations. Researchers attached the molecule fluorescein isothiocynate, which glows in the presence of white light, to the anti-CD47 antibody and introduced it into the bladder. Then, they used confocal endomicroscopy, an instrument that shines white light and takes high-resolution images of the bladder. They also attached a fluorescent molecule quantum dot to the anti-CD47 antibody that glows in the presence of blue light." http://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2014/10/new-molecular-imaging-technology-could-improve-bladder-cancer-de.html
