Abstract
The present teachings provide multimodal nanoparticles that can act simultaneously as contrast agents for one or more of PAT, fluorescence imaging, x-ray imaging, and/or MRI. Exemplary multimodal nanoparticles can have a size between 50-100 nm and can be tunable to large sizes. In various embodiments, these nanoparticles can also be used for therapeutic purposes.
