Advances in biomedical imaging have spurred the development of integrated multimodal
scanners, usually capable of two simultaneous imaging modes. The long‐term vision of …

The desire for high sensitivity, resolution, low toxicity, and fast clearance contrast agents has
driven the research for new nanomaterial systems. The drawbacks of traditional molecular …

To investigate the cellular uptake of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), we have synthesized
fluorescent IONPs by using dimercaptosuccinate (DMSA) which had been covalently …

Hybrid imaging is an emerging technology that typically fuses a combination of high-
sensitivity, nuclear imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or …

Clinical trials using stem cells as a regenerative therapy or a delivery vehicle for anti-cancer
agents have been increasing but the outcomes are highly variable. In vivo imaging of stem …

Amyloid is defined as insoluble, extracellular, proteinous aggregates formed by misfolding of
proteins or peptides which are normally soluble. In the human body, amyloid is toxic and can …

Since the 1970's, nuclear medicine clinics around the world have employed radioactive-
