Abstract

Molecular and diagnostic imaging has been recently a subject of intense research in the treatment of numerous diseases. In medical imaging, there are different modalities with unique strengths including MRI, ultrasound imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography. These systems need specific contrast agents to achieve a suitable image with the best quality. Nanoparticles represent an innovative tool in imaging field research and diagnostics of various diseases, especially cancerous ones. Among the nanocarriers, lipid-based nanoparticles, such as nanostructured lipid carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles and liposomes, are the most used carriers in imaging because of having many advantageous properties. This review addresses advancements in different lipid-based nanoparticles as tools in medical diagnostic and imaging. © 2018 Newlands Press.
