64Cu-PoP coated UCNPs as multifunctional imaging agent. A) Schematic diagram of the PoP-UCNP structure. Core-shell UCNPs were transferred to the aqueous phase by lipid coating with PEG-lipid and PoP. Radioactive 64Cu can seamlessly chelate inside. B) Accumulation of PoP-UCNPs in the first draining lymph node is indicated with yellow arrows in full anatomy PET (left), merged PET/CT (right).
