Early diagnosis that combines the high-resolutional CT and sensitive NIR-fluorescence bioimaging could provide more accurate information for cancerous tissues, which, however, remain a big challenge. Here we report a simple bimodal imaging platform based on PEGylated NaYbF4: Tm3+ nanopaticles (NPs) of less than 20?nm in diameter for both CT and NIR-fluorescence bioimaging. The as-designed nanoprobes showed excellent in?vitro and in?vivo performances in the dual-bioimaging, very low cytotoxicity and no detectable tissue damge in one month. Remarkably, the Yb3+ in the lattice of NaYbF4: Tm3+ NPs functions not only as a promising CT contrast medium due to its high X-ray absorption coefficiency, but also an excellent sensitizer contributing to the strong NIR-fluorescent emissions for its large NIR absorption cross-section. In addition, these NPs could be easily excreted mainly via feces without detectable remnant in the animal bodies.
