Carbon is one of the most frequently used elements with its unique physical, chemical, and electrical properties as well as its biological compatibility. Although there are many different types of carbon-based nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes are the most frequently used. Carbon nanotubes, which can have different designs such as single or multi-walled, can be easily synthesized. One of the areas of use of carbon nanotubes in terms of biomedical technologies is biosensors used in medical imaging and the detection of biological analytes. In terms of their use in sensors used for biological purposes, carbon nanotubes provide great advantages with their large surface areas, electrochemical conductivities, chemical structures suitable for modification, mechanical stability, and, of course, their nanometric dimensions that can be considered one-dimensional. The reactions they show under effects such as photoluminescence, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging are effective in making these materials stand out in medical imaging.
