Imaging Biomarkers or Biomarker Imaging?

چکیده
Since biomarker imaging is traditionally understood as imaging of molecular probes, we highly recommend to avoid any confusion with the previously defined term "imaging biomarkers" and, therefore, only use "molecular probe imaging (MPI)" in that context. Molecular probes (MPs) comprise all kinds of molecules administered to an organism which inherently carry a signalling moiety. This review highlights the basic concepts and differences of molecular probe imaging using specific biomarkers. In particular, PET radiopharmaceuticals are discussed in more detail. Specific radiochemical and radiopharmacological aspects as well as some legal issues are presented.

Beyond the image : sense and non-sense in imaging biomarkers
A biomarker or biological marker is defined as an indicator of a biological state or existence in the past of a particular type of organism. Biomarkers are objectively measured and evaluated as indicators of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention. Over the last two decades such biomarkers have been developed in many fields of ...
