Application	Strengths	Weaknesses
Tumor Imaging	rowspan="2" \| Safer and more efficient approach. It is possible to localize and target a specific site based on a certain characteristic. The use of bacteria as a transporting vessel and a production device to generate the CEST MRI contrast agent in situ allows a higher carrying capability. Low production cost.	At the moment it is not possible to reach areas with a weak hypoxic environment, this means that it is not possible to detect metastasis. Societal problems derived from the use of bacteria in humans and animals might be an obstacle for the distribution and usage of the bacterial CEST MRI contrast agent. There is a constant mutation risk. This risk is low but latent.
