Synopsis

Multimodality molecular imaging applies imaging modalities beyond visualizing anatomy and morphology to include the ability of imaging disease-specific biomolecules and pathways in cancer, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation, among others. Imaging modalities used in physiological and metabolic imaging are computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), optical imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon-emission computerized tomography (SPECT), and ultrasound (US).

This lecture will give an overview of the most important concepts and applications in multimodality imaging of physiology and metabolism.
