TL;DR: Nanoparticle-based contrast agents employed in most common biomedical imaging modalities, including fluorescence imaging, MRI, CT, US, PET and SPECT are reviewed, addressing their structure related features, advantages and limitations.

TL;DR: In vivo anti-tumor experiments demonstrate the high tumor inhibition rate of photothermal-chemotherapy group with a significant synergistic effect, and the biocompatible and biodegradable drug delivery platform based on ZIFs has shown great promise for future clinic cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The effective elimination of tumors is successfully realized by PTT under the guidance of digital subtraction angiography, computed tomography, and thermal imaging, which provides a new way for tumor-targeting delivery and cancer theranostic application.

TL;DR: This combined therapy offers many opportunities, such as the production of oxygen from CuO nanoparticles by MW to alleviate hypoxia, the enhancement of combined treatment of MWTT and chemotherapy, and the potential application of CT imaging to visualize the treatment process, which therefore provides a promising method for the clinical treatment of tumors in the future.

TL;DR: This paper develops a simple multifunctional theranostic platform using an IL@ZrO2 nanostructure for CT imaging guided tumor microwave thermotherapy.
