The rare-earth nanocrystals containing Er3+ emitters offer very promising tools for imaging applications, as they can not only exhibit up-conversion luminescence but also down-conversion luminescence in the second near-infrared window (NIR II). Doping non-lanthanide cations into host matrix was demonstrated

In this study, we synthesized hyaluronic acid-conjugated gadolinium (HA-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-Gd) and evaluated as hepatocyte-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent for the diagnosis of hepatic metastasis. We conducted Fourier transform (FT)-IR analysis to determine the conjugation of
