Bio-imaging and therapeutic nanoparticles-initially two different research areas tend more and more to merge. The outcome? Highly sophisticated imaging techniques offering new insights in nature or reducing side-effects of clinical therapies-a perfect symbiosis. This symbiosis is reflected in large improvements of medical diagnostics and therapy and even led to the formation of a completely new approach named “theranostics”, the fusion of the two areas therapeutics and diagnostics.
