Dual-modal in vivo fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging using a heterodimeric peptide

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: A heterodimeric peptide labeled with IRDye800 is used to perform dual-modal imaging of human esophageal xenograft tumors in vivo. Fluorescence and photoacoustic images provide complementary visualization of tumor dimensions in planar and sagittal views, respectively, demonstrating promise for targeted cancer diagnosis and staging.
