Abstract

The molecular imaging technology is a kind of imaging technology which displays the microstructure of tissue,cell and sub cellular level in vivo.It has the characteristics of real time,noninvasive,accurate and sensitive,and can be used for early screening and diagnosis of tumor at the cellular and molecular level.Following the development of bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging,optical molecular imaging technology is making rapidly progression.The application of optical molecular imaging technology in cancer was reviewed in the paper.
