Abstract

Imaging technologies are being increasingly employed to guide the delivery of targeted therapies with the intention to increase their performance and efficacy. The ultimate goal of incorporating imaging in treatment planning and delivery is to help patients achieve prolonged survival and increase their quality of life. This chapter discusses the benefits and potential application of various non-invasive imaging approaches aimed towards improving the development and clinical translation of existing and new nanomedicines.
