Abstract

The rapidly emerging field of molecular imaging is poised to open new vistas for basic researchers, scientists working in drug discovery and development, and physicians. This new report delves fully into:
  • The history, evolution, and potential of molecular imaging
  • The technologies in use today and under development for the future
  • Applications in drug development and diagnostic medicine
  • Market dynamics that are shaping and reshaping commerce in molecular imaging instruments and reagents
  • Regulatory aspects of the field
  • Interviews with experts active as either providers or users of molecular imaging
  • Results of an online survey of individuals in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and institutional researchers
Little more than 5 years old, the postgenomic field of molecular imaging is undergoing rapid research and commercial development, driven largely by big pharma’s burgeoning interest in biomarkers as crucial for decision support in preclinical and early clinical development.

The term biomarker is often associated with the detection or measurement (in vitro) of expressed genes, proteins, or metabolites in biological fluids. To drug developers, however, biomarker can refer equally well to morphological, functional, or molecular measurements made in vivo using medical imaging equipment, such as:
  • Computed tomography (CT)
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Positron emission tomography (PET)
  • Ultrasound
  • Optical scanners
