Abstract
A nanoparticle having a lipidic core, wherein the nanoparticle is linked via first polymeric linkers to a glucose molecules, and is further linked via second polymeric linkers to chelating agents, and wherein a weight ratio of the chelating agents to the nanoparticle is 1:20 to 1:80, respectively, is disclosed. Uses of the nanoparticle, particularly for imaging a tumor in a mammal, are further disclosed.
