Molecular Imaging, an Emerging Biomedical Research Discipline Enabling Visualization, Characterization, and Quantification of Biologic Processes
Molecular imaging is a fast growing discipline of biomedical imaging, which focuses on scanning molecular structures of interest within living human subjects. In contrast to more traditional techniques for getting molecular information out of preserved tissue samples like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, this form of imaging relies on the ability to determine the position and properties of individual molecules in a living person.
Ultrasound Technology is one such application, where it is used for many things. It helps doctors view tumors through CT scans or other forms of imaging. It can also help detect certain types of cancer, detect heart disease or stroke through computed tomography (CT) imaging, and monitor brain function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
One of the main things about medical imaging today is its ability to create high resolution images of living things. This high resolution image is then sent to computers to create a digital version of the image that can be processed by medical professionals who are trained in how to use these molecular imaging systems. Some of the most common uses for this form of imaging are used for cancer diagnosis. Medical doctors and scientists use these systems in conjunction with X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), PET scans, CAT scans and cerebrospinal fluid studies to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of certain kinds of cancer.
