Abstract
The new researches about the application of noble metals (nanoparticles, nanofilms, nanostructure, etc) to the medical field are one of the most exciting topics. Diagnostics, Drug Delivery, Photo-Thermal Ablation, Medical Imaging, Biomarkers, and Antimicrobial Coatings are examples of this new technology that the human can be reach with this acknowledge. Owing to wide ranging applications of noble metal nanoparticles, nanocompounds or nanostructures in diverse areas of science and technologies, the medical application is one of the more impacted areas, this impact also impacted human quality live. The nanotechnology promise of providing great benefits for society in the future is in the realm of medicine.
