Lanthanide-Doped Luminescent Nanomaterials

Part of the book series: Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology ((NANOMED))

Abstract

Nowadays, the applications of inorganic materials as biomedical nanoprobes play an important role in nanomedicine due to their unique electric, magnetic, and optical properties. Bioimaging particularly downshifting (DS), upconversion (UC), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging based on lanthanide-doped nanoprobes offers a unique approach for visualizing morphological details in tissue and thus has become a powerful noninvasive tool for visualizing the full range of bio-species from living cells to animals. In this chapter, we will provide a brief overview of the use of lanthanide-doped luminescent/magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) as efficient contrast agents for in vitro and in vivo DS/UC optical imaging as well as MR imaging.
