Abstract Molecular imaging technology enables us to observe the physiological or pathological processes in living tissue at the molecular level to accurately diagnose diseases at an early stage. Optical imaging can be employed to achieve the dynamic monitoring of tissue and pathological processes and has promising applications in biomedicine. The traditional first near-infrared (NIR-I) window (NIR-I, range from 700 to 900 nm) imaging technique has been available for more than two decades and has been extensively utilized in clinical diagnosis, treatment and scientific research. Compared with NIR-I, the second NIR window optical imaging (NIR-II, range from 1000 to 1700 nm) technology has low autofluorescence, a high signal-to-noise ratio, a high tissue penetration depth and a large Stokes shift. Recently, this technology has attracted significant attention and has also become a heavily researched topic in biomedicine. In this study, the optical characteristics of different fluorescence nanoprobes and the latest reports regarding the application of NIR-II nanoprobes in different biological tissues will be described. Furthermore, the existing problems and future application perspectives of NIR-II optical imaging probes will also be discussed. |
