On page 6613, W. Bu, J. Shi, and co‐workers present the first example of T 2 ‐weighted MR imaging of the sensitizer (Yb 3+ ) and activator (Ho 3+ ) in UCNPs, which can also be simultaneously used for UCL and CT imaging, thus enabling the high performance multimodal MRI/UCL/CT imaging in single UCNPs. Impressively, the remarkable T 2 ‐MRI capability of the Ho 3+ ‐doped UCNPs favors the accurate early diagnosis of brain tumor.
