Multifunctional perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions for (19)F-based magnetic resonance and near-infrared optical imaging of dendritic cells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Dec 7:(45):6952-4. doi: 10.1039/b914006a. Epub 2009 Oct 16.

Abstract

A novel type of bimodal imaging nanoprobe based on (19)F-based magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared optical imaging has been synthesized and applied for the labeling and imaging of dendritic cells both in vitro and in vivo.
