It is a challenge that accurate monitoring the spatial distribution of photothermal transducing agents (PTAs), meanwhile, real-time mapping temperature in photothermal therapy. Here, we propose an effective strategy that integrates T1 and MR temperature imaging for tracking nanoPTAs and real-time temperature monitoring in vivo. The synthesized nanoPTAs equip with favorable T1 performance and marginal susceptibility guaranteeing the accuracy of temperature mapping. The time resolution is 20 seconds, and the detection accuracy of temperature change is as low as 0.1K, which contributes to promoting the clinical application of photothermal therapy.
