Bio-Nanomaterials and Systems for Enhanced Bioimaging in Biomedical Applications

Bioimaging is an advanced noninvasive technique for observing biological activity over a specific time period. Apart from physical inference, it has no harmful effects on the human body systems and helps to report the 3D structure of specimens. Research on bioimaging has been continuous from the past to the present because of these features and benefits. Recently, many studies have focused particularly on noninvasive bioimaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI, SPECT, SERS, fluorescence microscopy, photoacoustic microscopy, scanning acoustic microscopy, and so on. It is interesting to note that those bioimaging technologies can enhance human health by enhancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases through the use of imaging modalities.

This research topic aims to integrate cutting-edge research on bio-nanomaterials, and bioimaging systems. The discovery and synthesis of contrast agents, trends in contrast materials, the influence of contrast agents on the quality of bioimaging, novel multi-functional agents are covered in this research topic, as well as numerous bioimaging applications. These fascinating research topics present an overview of bio-nanomaterials and systems for improved bioimaging and offer prospective future avenues for bioimaging.
