Abstract

Abstract: Molecular imaging is an emerging technology in biomedicine recently. Through the visual representation,characterization and quantificacation of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels within intact living organisms. Molecularing imaging provides effective methods to deeply unravel the mechanism of physiological and pathological processes, detect and monitor diseases and their treatments in real-time. dynamic, subtle, non-invasive, targeting way. Promisingly, it can be predicted that the rapid development of molecular imaging can lead to great changes of clinical medicine in the near future. In this review, molecular imaging was discussed.

Key words: molecule imaging, imaging technology
