Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, therefore important to understanding pathogenesis. Here, we designed a bright, renal-excreted and biocompatible near infrared II molecular fluorophore for in vivo imaging of TBI. We observed a transient hypoperfusion in the injured cerebral region, followed by fluorophore leakage. NIR-II fluorophores can provide a non-invasive assessment to TBI.
