Brighter, longer-lasting fluorescent particles and targeted microbubbles that make tumours visible during surgery or on an ultrasound scan.
Semiconductor quantum dots are far brighter and more photostable than dyes, and shortwave-infrared emitters see several centimetres into tissue; targeted microbubbles make ultrasound molecular rather than anatomic, with BR55 imaging VEGFR2 in early human studies. Heavy-metal core toxicity has slowed quantum-dot translation, and cadmium-free designs are the active area. Clinically approved agents remain conventional dyes.
Nanocrystals or gas-filled microbubbles carrying targeting ligands accumulate at a molecular marker and are read out optically or acoustically.
