Abstract

Bioimaging methods are used to visualize biological samples and processes in real-time non-invasively. Chitosan is conjugated with other materials to form chitosan composites and is used in bioimaging due to its outstanding biodegrad-ability and non-toxic nature. Chitosan-based nanocomposites are applied for cancer and tumour diagnosis through various imaging techniques based on fluorescence, ultrasound, photoacoustic, magnetic resonance imaging etc. The chapter discusses the applications, strengths, and limitations of chitosan-based nanocomposites in bioimaging techniques for diagnosis of various types of cancer.
