Molecular Imaging for Early-Stage Disease Diagnosis.
With the development of cellular biology, molecular biology, and other subjects, targeted molecular probe was combined with medical imaging technologies to launch a new scientific discipline of molecular imaging that is a research discipline to visualize, characterize, and analyze biological process at the cellular and molecular levels for real-time tracking and precision therapy, also termed as the medical imaging in the twenty-first century. An array of imaging techniques has been developed to image specific targets of living cells or tissues by molecular probes, including optical molecular imaging (OI), magnetic resonance molecular imaging, ultrasound (US) molecular imaging, nuclear medicine molecular imaging, X-ray molecular imaging, and multi-mode molecular imaging. These imaging techniques make the early diagnosis of various diseases possible by means of visualization of gene expression, interactions between proteins, signal transduction, cell metabolism, cell traces, and other physiological or pathological processes in the living system, which bridge the gap between molecular biology and clinical medicine. This chapter will lay the emphasis on the early-stage diagnosis of fatal diseases, such as malignant tumors, cardio- or cerebrovascular diseases, digestive system disease, central nervous system disease, and other diseases employing molecular imaging in a real-time visualized manner.
