摘要

Monitoring carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) in vivo is still a great challenge. Employing the intrinsic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes, near-infrared fluorescence, Raman and photoacoustic imaging are the preferred methods for tracking CNPs in vivo. For other carbon nanomaterials, labeling with magnetic, fluorescent or radioactive agents is required to achieve the same goal.
