Molecular Imaging

The term molecular imaging is originated from the field of radiopharmacology to understand the molecular pathways inside organisms in a  non-invasive manner. It helps in the visualisation of the  cellular function and follow up the molecular process in living organisms. This technique enables the diagnosis of diseases such as neurological, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This technique uses biomarkers to help image particular targets or pathways. Its ability to image fine molecular changes opens a wide range of exciting possibilities for various medical application.
