Molecular Imaging in Nanomedical Research 2.0.

Over the last two decades, imaging techniques have become irreplaceable tools in nanotechnology: electron microscopy techniques are routinely used to observe the structural features of newly manufactured nanoconstructs, while light and electron microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, optical imaging, positron emission tomography, and ultrasound imaging allow dynamic monitoring of the biodistribution, targeting and clearance of nanoparticulates in living systems, either for the whole organism or at the level of single cells, tissues and organs [...].
