Enhanced dual contrast agent, Co2+-doped NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ nanorods, for near infrared-to-near infrared upconversion luminescence and magnetic resonance imaging

Fabrication of Superhydrophobic and Luminescent Rare Earth/Polymer complex Films

“…The water-repellent surface effectively protects the PTFE-Eu 3+ film from contacting with water molecules. The outstanding resistance is of significant importance since water or aqueous salt solution are the common service environments for rare earth materials such as in vivo and in vitro bioimaging applications474849.…”

Lanthanide Nanoparticles: From Design toward Bioimaging and Therapy

“…All of these analyses can be conveniently conducted on standard instruments. Hematological and blood biochemical analyses of murine blood injected w i t h v a r i o u s l a n t h a n i d e o x i d e 7 0 0 , 7 0 5 a n d fl uoride 425,487,576,583,584,699 nanoparticles reveal no significant hematological irregularities or impairment of organ functions.…”

“…The effect on physical and behavioral signs caused by the introduction of a wide variety of nanoparticles is investigated, 425,487,576,583,584,697,699,700 and the results generally indicate no significant changes as compared to control groups (Figure 72a).…”

“…In the evaluation of the in vivo toxicity of chitosan-coated Co 2+ -doped NaYF 4 :Yb, Tm nanoparticles conducted by Shen et al, 584 heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney from mice injected with the nanoparticles were harvested and assessed. Microscopic images reveal that organ structures remained normal, inflammation was not observed, and there were no significant increases in leukocytes such as lymphocyte, macrophage, neutrophil, and eosinophil, suggesting no increased immune response.…”

PEGylated Polyethylenimine-Entrapped Gold Nanoparticles Loaded With Gadolinium For Dual-Mode Ct/Mr Imaging Applications

“…A wide variety of NPs have been utilized as contrast agents for x-ray computed tomography (CT) [6][7][8][9], magnetic resonance (MR) [10][11][12][13][14][15], positron emission tomography [16,17] and fluorescence imaging [18][19][20] etc. as they can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of medical diagnosis.…”
