Abstract

Graphene is sp2-hybridized carbon structure-based two-dimensional (2D) sheet. Graphene-based nanomaterials possess several features such as unique mechanical, electronic, thermal, and optical properties, high specific surface area, versatile surface functionalization, and biocompatibility, which attracted researcher’s interests in various fields including biomedicine. In this chapter, we particularly focused on the biomedical imaging applications of graphene-based nanomaterials like graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs), and other derivatives, which utilize their outstanding optical properties. There are some biomedical imaging modalities using Graphene-based Nanomaterials, among which we will highlight fluorescence imaging, Raman imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and photoacoustic imaging. We also discussed the brief perspectives and future application related to them.
