Scientists have found a way to control the size of special nanoparticles to optimize their use for both magnetic resonance and near-infrared imaging. Their approach could help surgeons use the same nanoparticles to visualize tumors just before and then during surgery using the two different imaging techniques. Their findings were published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
