Abstract: Molecular imaging is defined as the in vivo characterization and measurement of targeted molecules and biological processes in living subjects. Advances in molecular imaging have come at a rapid pace over the past decade. There are vibrant improvements in development of sophisticated imaging systems, identification of critical imaging targets and design of better imaging probes. Such imaging technologies are now providing exciting new opportunities to study dynamic biological behaviors in small-animal models, guide novel drug development, enhance surgical vision, better diagnose diseases and monitor therapeutic response accurately. Over conventional medical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT and PET, optical imaging, particularly fluorescence imaging has the potential to provide surgical molecular navigation by displaying diseased and normal tissues in real time in the operating room and accurate diagnostic tool by picking out cellular and subcellular signatures with high sensitivity and resolution. Here, we share several experiences to develop molecular imaging technologies using the power of light, spanning from surgical fluorescence imaging system with spectral technique, specific imaging probe with small molecules, peptides and nanoparticles and novel applications for clinical diagnosis and therapy.
