Abstract:
In this paper the concept of molecular imaging is introduced, and its importance is addressed. Besides, the key points of molecular imaging are briefly reviewed from a view of engineering. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of the function and the position of traditional medical imaging modalities in the era of molecular imaging. Finally a discussion is made for the further development of medical imaging modalities along the line of molecular imaging.
