Multifunctional gadolinium-labeled silica-coated Fe₃O₄ and CuInS₂ nanoparticles as a platform for in vivo tri-modality magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging

Abstract

-weighted negative enhancement in the MR imaging significantly improves the diagnosis accuracy, and fluorescence imaging of tumor tissue can assist in clinical surgery. These findings suggest that these multifunctional NPs could be used as a platform for bimodal imaging (both MR and fluorescence) in various biological systems.
