Mn-based nanoparticles have been regarded as a new class of probes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but their low relaxivity is the major obstacle for applications <i>in vivo</i>. Herein, we designed and constructed a multifunctional nanotheranostic (FA-Mn<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@PDA@PEG) for MRI guided combinatorial chemo-/photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer. The ultrahigh relaxivity of 14.47 mM<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> makes the nanotheranostic an excellent contrast agent for MRI <i ...[more]
