Advantages

Limitations

Ref

DSPE-PEG\ MFRFs

MRI

Qualitative and quantitative MRI, high accumulation.

High cost.

[135]

Hsp70-SPIONs

High contrast, preferential accumulation in the heart tissue.

Low sensitivity.

[136]

MnO2@BSA

High spatial resolution, good molecular relaxivity, high accumulation, rapid metabolism.

Long scan times.

[137]

AuNPs

CT

High tissue accumulation, prolonged and significant imaging, adequate contrast, superior tissue penetration and spatial resolution, high safety.

Radiation, poor soft tissue contrast.

[138]

AuNPs

Stable blood pool enhancement, superior X-ray attenuation and profile.

Radiation, amount of AuNPs necessary for imaging was relatively high, lower limb dysfunction of unknown cause.

[139]

cROMP nanoparticles

High tissue accumulation, good structural integrity, high sensitivity.

Radiation, uncertain eliminating method.

[140]

N1177

Good targeting, high spatial and temporal resolutions.

Radiation, uncertain kinetics and optimal dose.

[141]

ExiTron MyoC 8000

High iodine concentration, long blood half-life, ingested by healthy heart muscle, low dose required.

Radiation, poor targeting.

[142]

CNA35-PFP NPs

US

High contrast, high tissue accumulation, noninvasive, economical, and real-time.

Low resolution.

[143]

CLIO-VT750

FMT

Long half-life, high contrast, good targeting, multi-channel simultaneous imaging.

Long scan times.

[144]

Macroflor

PET

Short blood half-life, high tissue accumulation, good targeting.

Lower retention, long scan times.

[145]

64Cu-Macrin

Quantitative determination, good targeting, high safety.

Imaging depends on the abundance, activity, and phagocytic history of macrophages.
