Molecular Imaging

Nuclear imaging, also called molecular imaging, includes positron emission computed tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. This section includes radiopharmaceuticals and tracers, PET-CT, SPECT-CT, and PET-MRI. Molecular imaging includes the field of nuclear medicine, which uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat disease.

After the absorption of an X-ray photon, the water molecule can bend up so far that after only about ten femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second) both hydrogen atoms (grey) are facing each other, with the oxygen atom (red) in the middle. This motion can be studied by absorbing a second X-ray photon. Credit: DESY, Ludger Inhester

Images of uptake in bone metastasis in patient 2. Anterior whole-body (left) and SPECT/CT (right) images show uptake of 131I-GMIB-anti-HER2-VHH1 at level of large lytic bone metastasis, with soft-tissue component at sternal bone both at 2.5 h and at 24 h after injection. Small differences in area of uptake are explained by differences in patient positioning (arms up at 2.5 h and arms down at 24 h, to maximize patient comfort). Cts = counts. Image created by M.
