The intention of this review is to provide information about the rapidly evolving field of molecular imaging and its potential impact on the clinical practice of nuclear medicine. On completing this article the reader should be able to define molecular imaging, describe the ways in which molecular imaging can be used, identify some of the biologic processes that can be targeted with molecular imaging agents, and list the modalities that can be used for molecular imaging, along with the strengths and weaknesses of each.
本综述的目的是提供有关快速发展的分子成像领域及其对核医学临床实践潜在影响的信息。读完本文后,读者应能够定义分子成像,描述分子成像的使用方式,识别一些可用分子成像剂靶向的生物学过程,并列出可用于分子成像的方式,以及每种方式的优缺点。
