Synthetic micro-nanomachines, particularly micro/nanomotors, have emerged as groundbreaking tools in both life and material sciences, mimicking the crucial functions of biological motors. These motors, driven by catalytic, acoustic, or magnetic forces, have garnered significant attention for their diverse applications. Particularly, those powered by magnetic propulsion offer distinct advantages, especially in biomedical contexts. In recent years, there has been notable progress in utilizing nano/micromotors for imaging applications. Imaging techniques play a crucial role in understanding the behavior and functionality of these miniature machines within biological and synthetic systems. By integrating nuclear medicine imaging modalities into nano/micromotor design, researchers can visualize and track their movements in real-time, providing valuable insights for optimizing performance and enhancing functionality. Integrating nuclear medicine imaging techniques into the study of synthetic micro-nanomachines provides valuable data on their biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and interactions with biological entities. This knowledge is instrumental in optimizing motor design and improving its efficacy for nuclear medicine applications. This study aims to use nuclear medicine imaging techniques to offer insights into biological systems, complementing the analysis of synthetic micro-nanomachines. These techniques utilize radiopharmaceuticals, which emit gamma rays or positrons, enabling non-invasive visualization of physiological processes at the molecular level. The calculations and techniques envisaged in this work plan for non-invasive visualization of physiological processes at the molecular level using radiopharmaceuticals that emit gamma rays or positrons.
