Despite decades of efforts, non-invasive sensitive detection of small malignant brain tumors still remains challenging. Here we report a dual-modality <sup>124</sup>I-labeled gold nanostar (<sup>124</sup>I-GNS) probe for sensitive brain tumor imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and subcellular tracking with two-photon photoluminescence (TPL) and electron microscopy (EM). Experiment results showed that the developed nanoprobe has potential to reach sub-millimeter intracranial brain tu ...[more]
