Miniature gold nanorods for photoacoustic molecular imaging in the second near-infrared optical window

In photoacoustic imaging, the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window is where tissue generates the least background signal. However, the large size of the few available contrast agents in this spectral range impedes their pharmacokinetics and decreases their thermal stability, leading to unreliable ph...
