This review describes the recent advances in the development of imaging agents based on silica nanoparticles. Different techniques (magnetic resonance imaging, optical imaging, positron emission tomography, X-ray computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging) are described as well as the possibility of combining together different imaging techniques in the same nanoplatform and simultaneously performing imaging and therapy.

Abstract
This review describes the recent advances in the development of imaging agents based on silica nanoparticles. Different techniques (magnetic resonance imaging, optical imaging, positron emission tomography, X-ray computed tomography, and ultrasound imaging) are described as well as the possibility of combining together different imaging techniques in the same nanoplatform and simultaneously performing imaging and therapy.
