metastases and how this helps shapes our understanding of the
molecular imaging of cancer. Additionally, discussion will focus
on the role molecular imaging can play in developing new
radiotracers for oncologic imaging, the roles that MicroPET and
MicroSPECT can play in validating the basis of in vivo imaging
relative to other cross-modality cooroborative studies. The
value of molecular imaging in predicting cancer treatment
outcomes and aiding innovative cancer management will be
described. |
