Fluorescent magnetic gadolinium-doped carbon dots (Gd-CDs) were prepared using a high-temperature carbonization method. The prepared Gd-CDs emitted bright green fluorescence with a fluorescence quantum yield of 32.6% and a T1 relaxation efficiency of up to 9.02 L·mmol^-1·s^-1. By conjugating with the ovarian cancer-specific antibody Anti-HE4, the resulting Anti-HE4/Gd-CDs nanoprobes could perform specific fluorescent imaging and T1-weighted imaging of SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells. The fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of SKOV-3 cells, with a detection limit of 658 cell·mL^-1. This method was applied to the detection of SKOV-3 cells in blood samples.
