Abstract:
Small animal multimodal biomedical imaging refers to the integration of multiple imaging techniques within the same system or device to acquire comprehensive physiological and pathological information of small animals, such as mice and rats. With the continuous advancement of biomedical research, this cutting-edge technology has attracted extensive attention. Multimodal imaging techniques, based on diverse imaging principles, overcome the limitations of single-modal imaging through information fusion, significantly enhancing the overall system's sensitivity, temporal/spatial resolution, and quantitative accuracy. In the future, the integration of new materials and artificial intelligence will further boost its sensitivity and resolution. Through interdisciplinary innovation, this technology is expected to become the core technology of personalized medicine and expand its applications to drug development, environmental monitoring, and other fields, thus reshaping the landscape of biomedical research and clinical practice. This review summarized the progress on the application and investigation of multimodal biomedical imaging techniques, and discussed its development in the future.
