Multimodal cancer imaging with nanoparticles. Three medical imaging methods being used to study nanoparticles developed to treat cancers in mouse models. Here, therapeutic nanoparticles tagged with a fluorescent molecule have accumulated in a mouse's tumour (yellow, circled at right). Simultaneously, luminescent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Cerenkov imaging was used to confirm the tumour location (circled, centre), with multicolours indicating different FDG absorption rates. FDG also accumulated in the mouse's brain. The tumour location was also confirmed by a positron emission tomography (PET) scan (circled, left). This montage was created in 2016, as part of research carried out at Washington University in St Louis, USA. | |
