A boron-doped graphene quantum dot (B-GQD) as a metal-free multimodal contrast agent (CA) for safe magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging is reported. In vivo T -weighted magnetic resonance images show that B-GQDs induce significant contrast enhancement on the heart, liver, spleen, and kidney, and sustain for more than 1 h, about 10 times longer than Gd-based CAs currently used in clinic.
报道了一种硼掺杂石墨烯量子点(B-GQD)作为无金属的多模态对比剂(CA),用于安全的磁共振成像和荧光成像。体内 T 加权磁共振图像显示,B-GQDs 在心、肝、脾、肾等部位引起显著的对比增强,持续时间超过 1 小时,比目前临床使用的基于 Gd 的 CA 长约 10 倍。
