Nanotheranostics: A Dream Coming True

This chapter discusses how nanoparticles and multimodal nano-imaging are

bringing closer to the moment where imaging and therapy converge. This means that

the diagnosed illnesses can be treated in situ based on the imaging result allowing

personalized Nano-medicine. There are already theranostic nano-medicines that can do

precise drug delivery only to the targets that are seen and approved by radiology and

nuclear medicine tools. In this chapter, we also discuss the already existing emerging

techniques and their challenges and implications on the traditional pharma industry and

startup-driven biobusiness.

Keywords: Drug delivery, Multimodal Imaging, Nanoimaging, Nanomedicine, Theranostic.
