Luminescence molecular tomography with Cherenkov excitation offers the ability to non-invasively image and quantify temporal changes in fluorescence throughout the body, and then further realize tumor localization. This can be done in radiotherapy to determine the response to treatment in fractionated therapy. To obtain high signal-to-background or signal-to-noise ratio measurement, it is critical to know the best post time point of in-vivo agent-based molecular imaging, which could account on a high signal ratio of target to skin (TSR). For this purpose, ex-vivo murine experiments were performed to quantify the biokinetics and biodistribution of the major organs, plasma, tumor, and skin.
