The present invention provides compositions and methods for imaging, for example, tumor resections. There are over one million cancer surgeries per year performed in the United States and nearly 40% of them miss resecting the entire tumor according to the National Cancer Institute Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results report. For example in breast cancer lumpectomies, failure to remove all the cancer cells during the primary surgery (positive margins) occurs approximately 50% of the time and requires second surgeries.
