Here we report a two-step surface modification methodology to radiolabel small extracellular vesicles (SEVs) with 64CuCl2 for PET/MRI imaging. The modification did not change or damage the morphology, surface receptor proteins and internal RNA content. Radiolabeled SEVs could be detected in organs with low accumulation such as the brain (0.4-0.5% ID g-1) and their brain location determined by MRI.
