Abstract

Nanotheranostics is a real-time integration of novel therapeutic and diagnostic tool or imaging in one system, linked and integrated by nanoparticles. It is one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in nanomedicine and is extremely attractive for personalized medicine. In this chapter, we aim to introduce the reader to the various particles and terminologies associated with nanomedicine with the aid of fifteen questions.
