Molecular imaging is the visualization, characterization, and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems. Molecular imaging agents are probes used to visualize, characterize, and measure biological processes in living systems. These two definitions were put forth by the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) in 2007 as a way to capture the interdisciplinary nature of this relatively new field. The emergence of molecular imaging as a scientific discipline is a result of advances in chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering, and the application of imaging probes and technologies has reshaped the philosophy of drug discovery in the pharmaceutical sciences by providing more costeffective ways to evaluate the efficacy of a drug candidate and allow pharmaceutical companies to reduce the time it takes to introduce new therapeutics to the marketplace. Finally, the impact of molecular imaging on clinical medicine has been extensive since it allows a physician to diagnose a patient’s illness, prescribe treatment, and monitor the efficacy of that treatment noninvasively. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) were the first molecular imaging modalities used clinically. SPECT requires the use of a contrast agent labeled with a γ-emitting radionuclide, which should have an ideal γ energy of 100-250 keV. These γ rays are recorded by the detectors of a dedicated γ camera or SPECT instrument and after signal processing can be converted into an image identifying the localization of the radiotracer. PET requires the injected radiopharmaceutical to be labeled with a positron-emitting radionuclide. As the radionuclide decays, it ejects a positron from its nucleus, which travels a short distance before being annihilated with an electron to release two 511 keV γ rays 180 apart that are detected by the PET scanner (Figure 1). After sufficient acquisition time, the data are reconstructed using computer-based algorithms to yield images of the radiotracer’s location within the organism. Compared with SPECT, PET has greater advantages with respect to sensitivity and resolution and has been gaining in clinical popularity, with the number of PET-based studies expected to reach 3.2 million by 2010. 1 While SPECT and PET technologies have* Corresponding authors: Carolyn J.
