Translating Imaging Nanoprobes Design to the Clinic

Abstract

AbstractThe use of nanoprobes has revolutionized the way we approach medical diagnosis and treatment. These tiny particles are designed to target specific cells or tissues within the body, allowing doctors to visualize and monitor disease progression in real‐time. The paramount consideration in the utilization of nanoprobes is their safety. Unlike traditional contrast agents, which can cause adverse reactions in some patients, these probes are specifically engineered to minimize any potential harm. And it can promote the rapid development of new biological imaging techniques in various fields such as biological structure and functional imaging, disease diagnosis, in situ imaging, and real‐time dynamic imaging at the in vivo level. Based on the principles and mechanisms of imaging, this study focuses on the recent applications of nanoprobes for several typical imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography imaging, fluorescence imaging, and acoustic imaging) with the aim of providing researchers with a fresh perspective on precise disease diagnosis and treatment through the development of nanoprobes.
