TL;DRAbstract
Molecular imaging (MI) allows in vivo visualization of normal and abnormal cellular processes at the molecular and genomic levels, rather than at the anatomical level. MI is a relatively new biomedical discipline that enables cellular and subcellular biologic processes within living subjects to be visualized, characterized, and quantified. MI combines molecular biology and medical imaging and is increasingly attracting research attention in the molecular cell biology, chemistry, genetics, biomedical physics, engineering, and medical fields. It can be used to study genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, various intracellular processes, and cell–cell interactions. A major focus of MI is genetic imaging, that is, “molecular–genetic imaging,” and imaging reporter genes are set to play a leading role in molecular–genetic imaging.
