As such, visualising and measuring metabolic tissue activity could be useful to identify biomarkers of disease activity already in a very early phase. Recent advances in imaging have led to the development of so-called 'metabolic imaging' tools that can detect these changes in metabolism in an increasingly accurate manner and non-invasively...
