The rapid progress of nanoscience and the application of nanotechnology are changing the foundations of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. As the core of nanotechnology, nano- and microparticles offer three-in-one functions as imaging agents, target probes, and therapeutic carriers. While nano- and microparticle-based imaging of cardiovascular interventions is still in its developing phase, it has already presented the exciting potential to monitor primary interventional procedures for precise therapeutic delivery, enhance the effectiveness of delivered therapeutics, and monitor therapeutic efficiency after interventions performed to treat cardiovascular diseases. This article provides an overview of the current status of the application of nano- and microparticles in the imaging of cardiovascular interventions. (c) RSNA, 2007
