Dendrimers are a family of highly branched, monodispersed synthetic macromolecules with well defined structural composition and architecture. Based on the unique structure of dendrimers, the synthesis and application of novel types of dendrimer-related CT imaging agents are reviewed in this article. Furthermore, future perspectives in the application and development of dendrimers-based CT imaging contrast agents are introduced.
