Multimodal imaging technology were extensively studied over past few years, because they offered complementary diagnosis information, which can increase the accuracy of diagnosis. The synthesis of contrast agents via simplified methods are desired for the development of multimodal imaging. Herein, uniformly distributed Fe3O4/Gd2O3 nanocubes for T1-T2 dual-mode contrast agents were rationally designed and successfully fabricated by our group. In this system, the Fe3O4/Gd2O3 nanocubes were coated with nontoxic 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHCA) for better hydrophilia and biocompatibility. The results show that Ferrum (Fe) and Gadolinium (Gd) elements are homo-dispersity in the Fe3O4/Gd2O3-DHCA (FGDA) nanocubes. Relaxivity study at 3.0 T scanner demonstrates that the r1 value and r2 value of FGDA nanocubes reach up to 67.57 ± 6.2 mM-1s-1 and 24.2 ± 1.46 mM-1s-1. The images of T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging in vivo demonstrate that FGDA nanocubes possess the ability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging enhancement as dual-mode contrast agent. The above illustrated experimental results indicate that FGDA nanocubes can be applied in clinical diagnosis in future.

Abstract The utilization of diagnosis to guide/aid therapy procedures has shown great prospects in the era of personalized medicine along with the recognition of tumor heterogeneity and complexity. Herein, a kind of multifunctional silicon-based nanostructure, i.e., gold nanoparticles-decorated fluorescent silicon nanorods (Au@SiNRs), is fabricated and exploited for tumor-targeted multimodal imaging-guided photothermal therapy. In particular, the prepared Au@SiNRs feature high photothermal conversion efficiency (~ 43.9%) and strong photothermal stability (photothermal performance stays constant after five-cycle NIR laser irradiation), making them high-performance agents for simultaneously photoacoustic and infrared thermal imaging. The Au@SiNRs are readily modified with targeting peptide ligands, enabling an enhanced tumor accumulation with a high value of ~ 8.74% ID g−1. Taking advantages of these unique merits, the Au@SiNRs are superbly suitable for specifically ablating tumors in vivo without appreciable toxicity under the guidance of multimodal imaging. Typically, all the mice treated with the Au@SiNRs remain alive, and no distinct tumor recurrence is observed during 60-day investigation.

A combined transrectal ultrasound and photoacoustic (TRUS–PA) imaging probe was developed for the clear visualization of morphological changes and microvasculature distribution in the prostate, as this is required for accurate diagnosis and biopsy. The probe consisted of a miniaturized 128-element 7 MHz convex array transducer with 134.5° field-of-view (FOV), a bifurcated optical fiber bundle, and two optical lenses. The design goal was to make the size of the TRUS–PA probe similar to that of general TRUS probes (i.e., about 20 mm), for the convenience of the patients. New flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), acoustic structure, and optical lens were developed to meet the requirement of the probe size, as well as to realize a high-performance TRUS–PA probe. In visual assessment, the PA signals obtained with the optical lens were 2.98 times higher than those without the lens. Moreover, the in vivo experiment with the xenograft BALB/c (Albino, Immunodeficient Inbred Strain) mouse model showed that TRUS–PA probe was able to acquire the entire PA image of the mouse tight behind the porcine intestine about 25 mm depth. From the ex vivo and in vivo experimental results, it can be concluded that the developed TRUS–PA probe is capable of improving PA image quality, even though the TRUS–PA probe has a cross-section size and an FOV comparable to those of general TRUS probes.
