Size-controlled bimodal in vivo nanoprobes as near-infrared phosphors and positive contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging
Rare-earth-doped nanoparticles (NPs), such as NaGdF4 nanocrystals doped with light-emitting rare earth ions, are promising bimodal probes that allow the integration of over 1000 nm near-infrared (OTN-NIR; NIR-II/III) fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of live bodies. A precise...
