CT and photothermal imaging of a tumor model in vivo.
(a) In vivo X-ray transverse CT images of tumor (a1and a2) and 3-D renderings of in vivo CT images (b1 and b2) before (a1 and b1) and after (a2 and b2) intratumoral injection of PEGylated WO2.9 NRs (20 mg/kg). (c) In vivo photothermal images of HeLa tumor-bearing mice without (c1) and with (c2) PEGylated WO2.9 NRs (20 mg/kg) exposed a 980 nm laser for 5 min. (d) temperature change of HeLa tumor-bearing mice without (black)and with (red) PEGylated WO2.9 NRs (20 mg/kg) exposed a 980 nm laser for 10 min.
