Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows a blood vessel containing the probe reported in this paper. The aim is to improve the image by combining photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by using a bimodal probe. The organic dye ZW800‐1 enables PAI thanks to its fluorescence in the near infrared (NIRF), and the gadolinium complex based on PCTA is ideal for MRI with radio‐frequency (RF) pulses. The combination leads to a precisely localized, high‐resolution bimodal image. More information can be found in the Full Paper by S. Laurent et al.
