A high-performance imaging probe with NIR luminescence and synergistically enhanced T1-T2 relaxivity for in vivo hepatic tumor targeting and multimodal imaging

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Sep 7;51(69):13369-72. doi: 10.1039/c5cc04911c. Epub 2015 Jul 24.

Abstract

A high-performance imaging probe with NIR luminescence and synergistically enhanced T1-T2 relaxivity was synthesized. This nanoprobe exhibits a relatively high tumor-targeting efficacy and enables NIR optical and T1-/T2-weighted MR imaging of hepatic tumor cells in vivo.
