Temperature increase profiles in SCC7 tumor tissue after in vivo photothermal treatment. (A) Infrared photothermal images of mice measured after tail vein injection and laser irradiation. (a) Mice injected with 200 µL PBS plus further laser irradiation, (b) Mice injected with 200 µL MHI-DSPE-SPION at 10 mg[Fe]/kg concentration in PBS plus further laser irradiation. (B) (a) Maximum temperature profiles of SCC7 subcutaneous tumors after tail vein post-injection plus further laser irradiation and (b) Temperature change of tumor area upon laser irradiation. *P < 0.05 relative to PBS injected group (n = 3).
