The intersection of nanoprobes and biomedical imaging represents a transformative frontier in modern medicine and biotechnology. This field explores the utilization of nanoscale probes for enhanced visualization, detection, and analysis of biological systems. The development of nanoprobes, their integration with imaging modalities, and their application in preclinical and clinical settings are central to this research domain. This Special Issue highlights the key aspects of nanoprobe design, synthesis, and their utilization in various imaging techniques. Furthermore, it discusses the safety and biocompatibility challenges associated with these probes, their potential in disease diagnosis and therapy, and the quantitative analysis methods employed. This Special Issue concludes by outlining the frontiers of nanoprobe-based imaging and highlights the need for continuous innovation in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
