An Affibody based dual imaging probe (PET and optical imaging) has been successfully developed. Dendrimer PAMAM G0 was used as a platform to assemble an NIRF dye, a metal chelator, and Affibody for dual modality imaging of ovarian cancer. Excellent tumor imaging quality was achieved in both modalities in the living tumor mice models.

Dual-modal imaging by combining magnetic resonance (MR) and near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence can integrate the advantages of high-resolution anatomical imaging with high sensitivity in vivo fluorescent imaging, which is expected to play a significant role in biomedical researches. Here we report a dual-modality imaging probe (NIR/MR-MSNs) fabricated by conjugating NIR fluorescent heptamethine dyes (IR-808) and MR contrast agents (Gd-DTPA) within highly aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs-NH2). The dual-modality imaging probes NIR/MR-MSNs possess a size of ca. 120 nm. The NIR/MR-MSNs show not only near-infrared fluorescence imaging property with an emission peak at 794 nm, but also highly MRT1relaxivity of 14.54 mM−1 s−1, which is three times more than Gd-DTPA. In vitro experiment reveals high uptake and retention abilities of the nanoprobes, while cell viability assay demonstrates excellent cytocompatibility of the dual-modality imaging probe. After intratumor injection with the NIR/MR-MSNs, MR imaging shows clear anatomical border of the enhanced tumor region while NIR fluorescence exhibits high sensitive tumor detection ability. These intriguing features suggest that this newly developed dual-modality imaging probes have great potential in biomedical imaging.

Dual-modality imaging is an in vivo diagnostic technique that obtains structural and functional information directly from patient studies in a way that cannot be achieved with separate imaging systems alone. Dual-modality imaging systems are configured by combining computed tomography (CT) with radionuclide imaging (using positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)) on a single gantry which allows both functional and structural imaging to be performed during a single imaging session without having the patient leave the imaging system. A SPECT/CT system developed at UCSF is being used in a study to determine if dual-modality imaging offers advantages for assessment of patients with prostate cancer using111 In-ProstaScint®, a radiolabeled antibody for the prostate-specific membrane antigen.111 In-ProstaScint® images are reconstructed using an iterative maximum-likelihood expectation-maximization (ML-EM) algorithm with correction for photon attenuation using a patient-specific map of attenuation coefficients derived from CT. The ML-EM algorithm accounts for the dual-photon nature of the111 In-labeled radionuclide, and incorporates correction for the geometric response of the radionuclide collimator. The radionuclide image then can be coregistered and overlaid in color on a grayscale CT image for improved localization of the functional information from SPECT. Radionuclide images obtained with SPECT/CT and reconstructed using ML-EM with correction for photon attenuation and collimator response improve image quality in comparison to conventional radionuclide images obtained with filtered backprojection reconstruction. These results illustrate the potential advantages of dual-modality imaging for improving the quality and the localization of radionuclide uptake for staging disease, planning treatment, and monitoring therapeutic response in patients with cancer.
