    摘要: This invention provides methods and systems for achieving high-specificity killing of targeted cells using Magneto-Electric Nano-Particles (MENPs) and functional or diagnostic imaging that detects changes at the cellular level. Embodiments comprise injecting into a patient's body manufactured MENPs that have a higher tendency to accumulate near or attach to targeted cells through one or more physical forces and/or biological mechanisms; and applying a magnetic field to the MENPs to generate an action that is sufficient to cause death of the targeted cells, and using an imaging apparatus to image or detect a specific property of the MENPs or changes in a property of the MENPs due to the coupling of the MENPs with their surrounding environment.
