Abstract

In many diseases, structural or anatomical changes that can be detected by conventional imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), appear later than molecular change. Recent advances in molecular biology and imaging techniques have allowed the visualization of individual molecules in living animals (Kherlopian et al. 2008). Using these techniques, researchers can trace molecules within cells or tissues under physiologic conditions; accordingly, clinicians can perform early detection and management of diseases, which improves the clinical outcome.
