We report the construction and characterization of polyethylenimine (PEI)-entrapped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) chelated with gadolinium (Gd) ions for targeted dual mode tumor CT/MR imaging in vivo. In this work, polyethylene glycol (PEG) monomethyl ether-modified PEI was sequentially modified with G...
