Excerpt

The ability to “see” has been a clinical necessity. Although the discovery of X-ray sparked the idea of seeing through and inside of our body and propelled the development of modern medicine, it was the advent of molecular imaging that has been driving the ongoing clinical shift toward individualized and precision healthcare [1, 2]. Nuclear medicine techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), enable us to appreciate the complex structural and molecular dynamics that play out in our bodies. The ability to see how drug molecules metabolize, to observe how biological processes progress, and to visualize how cells and organs function is an incredible leap forward in understanding human health and safeguarding it. …
