Nanomedicine shows great potential in screening, diagnosing and treating diseases. However, given the limitations of current technology, detection of some smaller lesions and drugs' dynamic monitoring still need to be improved. With the advancement of nanotechnology, researchers have produced various nanomaterials with imaging capabilities which have shown great potential in biomedical research. Here, we summarized the researches based on the characteristics of imageable nanomaterials, highlighted the advantages and biomedical applications of imageable nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and discussed current challenges and prospects.
纳米医学在疾病的筛查、诊断和治疗方面显示出巨大潜力。然而，鉴于当前技术的局限性，一些较小病变的检测和药物的动态监测仍有待改进。随着纳米技术的进步，研究人员已经制备出了各种具有成像能力的纳米材料，这些材料在生物医学研究中显示出了巨大潜力。在此，我们基于可成像纳米材料的特性总结了相关研究，突出了可成像纳米材料在疾病诊断和治疗中的优势及生物医学应用，并讨论了当前面临的挑战和前景。
