Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...

two deoxyglucose (dg) derivatives, (α,β)-2-deoxy-2-amino(ethylcarbamate)-d-glucose (ecb-dg) and (α,β)-2-deoxy-2-amino(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-d-glucose (dhp-dg), were synthesized and radiolabeled successfully with [99mtc(h2o)3(co)3]+ complex. [99mtc]-ecb-dg and [99mtc]-dhp-dg complexes were prepared (96% and 93% radiochemical purities respectively) by using 46 mci of na99mtco4 in 1 ml saline. radi...

Abstract In vivo molecular imaging is having a great potential that will have an impact on the medicine by detecting diseases in early stages like screening, identifying extent of disease, selecting disease- and patient-specific therapeutic treatment which be hallmark personalized medicine, for directed targeted therapy, also measuring molecular-specific effects treatment. Currently, most commo...
