Key Points (Abstract)

Nanotechnology is the newer field of the technology which is using the concept of the using the various atoms and molecules for the newer molecular components of very small size of the nanometre scale size. These newer avenues of the technologies have created the newer concepts of the diagnosis and treatment,. Various biomaterials will be used for the imaging as diagnostic imaging agents. They can be easily modifying due to their physical and chemical by various ligands which will be conjugated to the particle surface, site-specific ligand-molecule interaction, for the assessment molecular tissues. The therapeutic aspects will also have an impact for the various genes and drugs targeting as the nano- and microparticles for therapeutics also. Nanoimaging is the newer form of the molecular imaging modality which is based on the use of the various nanomaterials, like the nanoparticles, nanorods, nanosphere, nanoshells, and nanostars, which are seen mostly in oncological and biomedical imaging. These nano agents can be used as drug carriers, contrast agents for better resolution, photothermal agents, photoacoustic agents, and radiation dose enhancers. Due to the significant advancements and research, there are many nanotechnological advances which are being used in the functional imaging, cancer therapy, and various newer indications. The use of the nanomaterials can be done with all the imaging modalities including the magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computerized tomography, optical imaging, ultrasound, and photoacoustic imaging. Along with these therapeutic options various photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are there. Here the advances in various multimodality imaging with image-guided therapeutic options as well as various combination therapies can be used and considered.
