Visualizing Cellular Activity in Health and Disease through Nuclear Medicine's Molecular Imaging Techniques

Abstract

Selix Bensa

Molecular imaging represents a paradigm shift in the realm of medical diagnostics, offering a deeper understanding of cellular activity in health and disease. In nuclear medicine, this cutting-edge approach utilizes radiopharmaceuticals and advanced imaging techniques to visualize molecular processes within the body. This article explores the significance of molecular imaging, its applications and the transformative impact it has on healthcare. The foundation of molecular imaging lies in radiopharmaceuticals compounds that combine a radioactive isotope with a biologically active molecule. These molecules can selectively bind to specific cellular targets, allowing the visualization of molecular processes.
