Magnetic nanoparticles with fluorescent properties and specific targeting functions. The fluorescent magnetic nanoparticle includes a magnetic nanoparticle, a biocompatible polymer chemically modifying the magnetic nanoparticle, a fluorescent dye coupled to the biocompatible polymer, and a specific targeting agent coupled to the biocompatible polymer. The fluorescent and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles provide different types of signal sources and therefore, prompt imaging using different types of imaging techniques to reconfirm foci is feasible. |
