Radiolabeled Silicon-Rhodamines as Bimodal PET/SPECT-NIR Imaging Agents

Radiolabeled fluorescent dyes are decisive for bimodal imaging as well as highly in demand for nuclear- and optical imaging. Silicon-rhodamines (SiRs) show unique near-infrared (NIR) optical properties, large quantum yields and extinction coefficients as well as high photostability. Here, we describ...
