In vivo molecular imaging is a rapidly growing research area both for basic and clinical science. Non-invasive imaging of in vivo conditions at the molecular level increases understanding of the biological characteristics of normal and diseased tissues without the need for invasive surgical procedures. Among the various imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered interest as a molecular imaging modality due to its high spatial resolution. Here, we have demonstrated that…

Active targeting using HER-2-affibody-conjugated nanoparticles enabled sensitive and specific imaging of orthotopic HER-2 positive ovarian tumors.
TLDR
Her-2 targeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are developed by conjugating a high affinity and small size HER-2 affibody that is labeled with a unique near infrared dye (NIR-830) to the nanoparticles, enabling non-invasive optical and MR imaging of tumors as small as 1 mm in the peritoneal cavity.
Current Limitations of Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Tumors as Evaluated With High-Relaxivity CD105-Specific Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
TLDR
Molecular MRI by targeted SPIOs is currently not suitable for clinical tumor imaging using routinely applicable sequences and field strength despite being addressed in the literature several times in the last 20 years.
Molecular imaging of HER2-positive breast cancer: a step toward an individualized ‘image and treat’ strategy
TLDR
The new ‘image and treat’ strategy, involving assessment of target presence and distribution in an individual patient followed by optimized, target-specific drug delivery, may potentially improve efficacy of cancer treatment while reducing side effects.
Current limitations of molecular MRI for tumors as evaluated with high relaxivity CD105-specific iron oxide nanoparticles
TLDR
It is postulate that MRI using clinical sequences and field strengths and targeted SPIOs is not suitable for clinical tumor imaging.
Preclinical and clinical applications of specific molecular imaging for HER 2-positive breast cancer

TLDR
Current molecular imaging probes involved in breast cancer diagnosis and therapy evaluation are reviewed, and future of molecular imaging for the preclinical and clinical is explained.
Chemical and Biological Strategies for Improving the Sensitivity of SPIO-Enhanced MR Imaging
TLDR
By controlling and altering surface functionalization of SPIO nanoparticles, it is found that this work is able to significantly improve its ability to target tumor cells both in vitro and in murine tumor models, often overcoming the relatively poor sensitivity of MRI.
In vivo near-infrared imaging of ErbB2 expressing breast tumors with dual-axes confocal endomicroscopy using a targeted peptide
TLDR
Real-time optical sectioning using a near-infrared labeled ErbB2 peptide that generates tumor-specific contrast in human xenograft breast tumors in vivo is demonstrated and peptide biodistribution showed high tumor uptake by comparison with other organs to support safety.
