Bimodal probe for magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic imaging based on aPCTA derivative gadolinium(III) complex and ZW800‐1

One of the most widely used techniques to obtain anatomical information is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite its high resolution, it has a low sensitivity which could be enhanced by coupling MRI with a more sensitive technique such as photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The development of a bi-modal agent could thus lead to hybrid images with a high anatomical resolution provided by MRI and a precise localization of the contrast agent thanks to PAI.
