Cover Story: Imaging guided-photodynamic therapy for cancer disease remains to be a difficult task for researchers, and novel carbon-nanodot-based multimodal imaging-cum-therapy methodologies remain to be investigated. This article shares a concise review of the various heteroatoms/metal-doped carbon nanodots that are applied in image-guided photodynamic therapy. Synthesis, doping techniques, multimodal imaging, and physicochemical and biological properties of doped carbon nanodots are discussed. Recently reported heteroatom and metal-doped dots-based imaging-guided photodynamic therapy along with their advantages and limitations for each type are discussed. View this paper
