It spans all current life sciences and is being utilized at the frontiers of modern research. For the clinical radiologist, the future will bring application of molecular imaging techniques into the standard diagnostic workflow. Radiology will continue to be enhanced as knowledge from molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, neuroscience and molecular physiology continues to be integrated into imaging research and, eventually, practice. This excellent primer explains how many of the imaging modalities are being used with new tracers to visualize, characterize and measure biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. Radiologists will be given a broad overview of how these tools will continue to inform the imaging of processes intrinsic to metabolism, cell signaling and gene expression.</p>Wednesday, 05 May 2010 13:14:28 GMT
