Definition och Betydelse av "molecular imaging"

What is "molecular imaging"?

Molecular imaging is a technique used to observe and measure molecular processes within the body. It involves using special imaging tools to see how molecules in tissues and organs behave and interact. This can help in diagnosing diseases, studying how diseases progress, and evaluating how well treatments are working. Molecular imaging provides detailed images that show not just the structure but also the activity and function of specific molecules, helping to understand biological processes at a molecular level.
