We developed a simple method to prepare PEG-based soft nanoparticles that encapsulate dual imaging probes. The nanoparticles were administrated to mice and the pharmacokinetics of the nanoparticles was analyzed by means of MRI, fluorescence spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The soft nanoparticles were excreted by the mice rapidly through the urine without collapse and without leaking of the probe. The pharmacokinetics of the nanoparticles was not changed by the encapsulated molecules and acute toxicity to mice was negligible. It was expect that these PEG-based soft nanoparticles will be applicable for use as a safe diagnostic agent.
