The invention provides a composition of matter of the formula (I): V-L-R,
where V is a vector moiety having affinity for an angiogenesis-related
endothelias cell receptor, L is a linker moiety or a bond and R is a
detectable moiety, characterised in that V is a non-peptidic organic
group, or V is peptidic and R is a macromolecular or particulate species
providing a multiplicity of labels detectable in in vivo imaging.
