Multimodal polymeric contrast agents for MRI and fluorescence imaging in the management of cancer

The multimodal polymeric contrast agents for MRI and fluorescence imaging in the management of cancer are discussed. The paper presents preliminary data that suggest that a simple experimental protocol can provide at least an index of the permeability parameter if not the absolute permeability itself.
