ABSTRACT
Molecular imaging has undergone significant development in recent years for its excellent ability to image and quantify biologic processes at cellular and molecular levels. Its application is of significance in cardiovascular diseases, particularly in diagnosing them at early stages. Atherosclerosis is a complex, chronic, and progressive disease that can lead to serious consequences such as heart strokes or infarctions. Attempts have been made to detect atherosclerosis with molecular imaging modalities. Not only do imaging modalities develop rapidly, but research of relevant nanomaterials as imaging probes has also been increasingly studied in recent years. This review focuses on the latest developments in the design and synthesis of probes that can be utilized in computed tomography, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging and combined modalities. The challenges and future developments of nanomaterials for molecular imaging modalities are also discussed.
