A molecular probe comprising a linear peptide that includes an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, and SEQ ID NO: 9; a contrast agent; and a non-peptide linker that covalently links the peptide to the contrast agent.

Molecular probes and methods of use

A molecular probe includes the following formula:P-L-C

A compound includes at least one targeting peptide coupled to a detectable moiety. The targeting peptide binds to EDB-FN or EDA-FN and includes at least one of amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 1-30.
