Abstract | Delineation of small malignant lesions and their vasculature enables early and accurate diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it remains challenging to identify these features simultaneously by noninvasive imaging technology. Reverse contrast imaging emerges as a powerful means to detect early-stage HCC by taking inspiration from the intrinsic liver phagocytosis toward exogenous agents to generate negative tumor-to-normal tissue signals. However, this mechanism conflicts with the signal-enhancing requirements for vasculature visualization. Here, we solve this conundrum by designing a positive and reverse contrast-balanced imaging strategy based on a multifunctional PEG-Ta<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>@CuS nanoprobe that combines advanced gemstone spectral computer tomography (GSCT) with photoacoustic (PA) imaging. The nanoprobe exhibits preferential accumulation in Kupffer cells and hepatocytes over tumor cells, and its spectral properties are well matched with GSCT, leading to the enhancement of reverse contrast signals that enable clear delineation of 2-4 mm orthotopic HCC lesions. Meanwhile, its strong PA imaging capability at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window makes vascular evaluation accessible by monitoring the positive signal enhancement derived from the limited tumor accumulation of the nanoprobe. In addition, the nanoprobe enables NIR-II photohyperthermia for timely tumor ablation. Overall, this proposed strategy shows potential in early detection and theranostics of HCC for improved clinical outcomes. |
