title = "Semiconductor quantum dots as contrast agents for whole animal imaging",
abstract = "Recent developments in quantum dot (QD) technology have paved the way for using QDs as optical contrast agents for in vivo imaging. Pioneering papers showed the use of QDs as luminescent contrast agents for imaging cancer and guiding cancer surgery. The possible future use of QDs for clinical applications is expected to have a significant impact, however many challenges in this field have yet to be overcome.",
