title: Prussian blue nanoparticles operate as a contrast agent for enhanced photoacoustic imaging.
abstract: Prussian blue nanoparticles were explored for the first time as an excellent contrast agent for enhancing photoacoustic tomography in vitro and in vivo due to their superior absorption efficiency of near-infrared laser pulses at a wavelength of 765 nm.
