NIH-PA Author Manuscript quantum dots (QDs), these luminescent nanocrystals offer several advantages over conventional organic fluorophores, including high photochemical stability, large Stokes shift, and tunable fluorescence emission.[1] Up-conversion nanophosphors, which are capable of absorbing two or more low-energy photons to emit a higher-energy photon, also exhibit favorable characteristics such as long fluorescence lifetimes, no photoblinking, and reduced autofluorescence.[2] The recent development of lanthanide-doped nanophosphors that function in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral range optimal for optical transmission through biological tissues (650–900 nm) has attracted great interest towards in vivo bioimaging probes.[3–5] Alternatively, high-energy radiation, currently employed in medical imaging modalities, such as X-ray computed tomography (CT) or positron emission tomo graphy (PET), may also be used to excite NIR-emitting radioluminescent nanophosphors (RLNPs) for bioimaging.Recently, RLNPs have been proposed as molecular imaging probes in the development of combined X-ray/optical imaging modalities, such as X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT).[6–8] This innovative imaging technique provides deep tissue penetration, circumvents tissue autofluorescence, and simplifies imaging through optical reconstruction from planar images. Tissue-specific accumulation of these RLNPs through molecular targeting strategies [9, 10] would allow for localization of lesions, such as tumors, through detection of luminescence induced by narrowly collimated X-rays. In addition, RLNPs capable of activation by radioisotopes, such as PET tracers and radiopharmaceuticals, may enable planar optical detection of radiotherapy or co-localization of molecular targets. To enable these novel imaging modalities, we present a facile procedure to synthesize poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-coated RLNPs and examine their ability to serve as optical probes excited by X-rays or radioisotopes.
