Intrinsically germanium‐69‐labeled super‐paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are synthesized via a newly developed, fast and highly specific chelator‐free approach. The biodistribution pattern and the feasibility of 69 Ge‐SPION@PEG for in vivo dual‐modality positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging and lymph‐node mapping are investigated, which represents the first example of the successful utilization of a 69 Ge‐based agent for PET/MR imaging.
