Abstract
Unlike conventional imaging technologies, fluorescent imaging benefits from its safety, high-spatial resolution and real-time capability, which make it a highly adoptable imaging method for tumor detection and image-guided surgery in clinics. There are two types of fluorescent probes, including always-on type and environment-responsive type, wherein environment-responsive probes are preferred due to higher target-to-background ratios, which can improve sensitivity and specificity. The environment-responsive probes include enzyme-reactive probes, pH-sensitive probes and hypoxia responsive probes. This review summarizes recent progress in environment-responsive probes, and discusses their potentials in tumor detection and image-guided surgery.
Key words:

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (CJNMMI) was established in 1981, with the name of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and renamed in 2012. As the specialized periodical in the domain of nuclear medicine in China, the aim of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is to develop nuclear medicine sciences, push forward nuclear medicine education and basic construction, foster qualified personnel training and academic exchanges, and popularize related knowledge and raising public awareness.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging include:
-Research and commentary on nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with significant implications for disease diagnosis and treatment
-Investigative studies of heart, brain imaging and tumor positioning
-Perspectives and reviews on research topics that discuss the implications of findings from the basic science and clinical practice of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
- Nuclear medicine education and personnel training
- Topics of interest for nuclear medicine and molecular imaging include subject coverage diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, and also radionuclide therapy, radiomics, molecular probes and related translational research.
