Abstract A series of Dysprosium (Dy 3+ ) doped β‐Tricalcium phosphate [β‐ TCP , β‐Ca 3 ( PO 4 2 ] were developed for applications in magnetic resonance imaging MRI and computed tomography CT ). Characterization studies confirmed the Dy occupancy at Ca 2+ (1), (2), (3) lattice sites its substitution limit was determined as 4.35 mol%. The transitions from 6 H 15/2 ground state to various excited energy levels is validated by characteristic absorption peaks . Luminescence inferred two intense bands 480 572 nm due F 9/2 → (blue) 13/2 (yellow) paramagnetic nontoxic behavior ‐doped MTT tests, respectively. host induces a high X‐ray ability showed efficient contrast T ‐enhancing modality. Thus proposed system could be used promising probe multimodality with optical imaging, imaging.
