Synthesis and Characterization of GdVO<sub>4</sub>:Nd Near-Infrared Phosphors for Optical Time-Gated In Vivo Imaging

Many medical imaging techniques use some form of ionizing radiation. This radiation is not only potentially harmful for the patient, but also for the medical personnel. An alternative imaging technique uses near-infrared (NIR) emitting luminescent particles as tracers. If the luminescent probes are...
