Molecular Imaging

Molecular Imaging could understanding disease or state the disease processes from the physiology and the biochemistry level. Not only it can improve the capability of disease diagnosis, but also it can discover the disease from molecule level. It's the real method of early diagnosis and preemptive therapy. Because of it's development and capacity, molecular imaging will be the development direction of Medical imageology, and lead to the biomedical model revolution.

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.

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new medical imaging tool, which was born at the beginning of the 21st century. Compared with traditional imaging techniques, the preliminary research indicates that MPI shows higher sensitivity, resolution and imaging speed. This article presents the principle of MPI, its recent development from three different perspectives is introduced.

Nanobodies are derived from the variable domain of the heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs) that occur naturally in the serum of camels. Using nanobody-based probes, several imaging techniques such as radionuclide-based, optical and ultrasound have been employed for visualization of target expression in various disease models. Combined with application and clinical data of nanobody in molecular imaging in recent years, this paper introduces its application in the diagnosis of diseases and the future development as a novel molecular imaging tool.

At the summer workshop of the Korean Endocrine Society held in 2016, some examples of protein experiments were discussed in the session entitled “All about working with proteins.” In contrast to what the title suggested, it was unrealistic to comprehensively discuss all protein analytical methods. Therefore, the goal was to outline protein experimental techniques that are useful in research or in bench work. In conversations with clinicians, however, I have always felt that researchers who do not engage in bench science have different demands than those who do. Protein research tools that are useful in bench science may not be very useful or effective in the diagnostic field. In this paper, I provide a general summary of the protein analytical methods that are used in basic scientific research, and describe how they can be applied in the diagnostic field.
