Abstract
Methods for high resolution imaging of a suspected target tissue are encompassed by the invention. Such methods include administering low resolution and high resolution contrast agents specific to targeted cells or tissues. The contrast agents are allowed to bind to the target cells or accumulate in a target tissue. A low resolution imaging technique is used to localize an accumulation of the low resolution contrast agent in a target tissue. A high resolution image of the target tissue is then obtained to localize an accumulation of the higher resolution contrast agent, allowing the generation of a higher resolution image than that obtained by the use of the low resolution contrast agent alone. These methods may utilize nanoparticles optionally in an emulsion as a contrast agent.
