Molecular Imaging
Over the past decade the focus of imaging techniques has shifted from anatomical and physiological assessment, to visualization of physiological and pathophysiological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. This series of articles examines the exciting new field of molecular imaging in cardiovascular medicine. Articles will cover every aspect from methods to applications of the in vivo characterization and measurement of biological processes.
