One is to develop a novel imaging agent that can be active in more than one imaging modality, and another is to formulate more than one existing imaging agent in a single delivery system. Nanotechnology can greatly promote both strategies for multimodal imaging of high sensitivity, high precision, high contrast and low noise signal.”
