In vivo molecular imaging is a science combining molecular biology, cellular biology and physiology with imaging in living subjects'.
Advances in computing and the science of molecular imaging analysis will lead to images more relevant to the needs of molecular medicine.
Efforts to reveal the cellular and molecular basis of biological processes have resulted in a number of technologies that combine molecular biology and imaging sciences that are collectively termed as Molecular Imaging.
Therefore, quantum dots provide a new functional platform for bioanalytical sciences and molecular imaging.
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is an autofluorescent protein that has been widely used in the biomedical sciences for molecular imaging applications.
CTI Molecular Imaging Inc., a maker of imaging equipment that helps doctors detect cancer and other diseases, said it had acquired Mirada Solutions Ltd. for $22 million in cash and notes.
The emergence of molecular imaging (MI) has drastically changed medical science in many ways, including the diagnosis of diseases in the early stages, the assessment of risks, the treatment outcome, and the follow-up[12 14] follow-up[12 14]
Furthermore, as an emerging interdisciplinary science which brings together nuclear medicine, ultrasonic medicine, radiology, pharmacy, and materials science, the development of molecular imaging needs to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation.
The field of molecular imaging involves expertise from many basic sciences, including physics, chemistry, engineering, etc., in addition to biology and medicine.
