Abstract
Molecular imaging-the mapping of molecular and cellular processes in vivo-has the unique capability to interrogate cancer metabolism in its spatial contexts. This work describes the usage of the two most developed modalities for imaging metabolism in vivo: positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR). These techniques can be used to probe glycolysis, glutamine metabolism, anabolic metabolism, redox state, hypoxia, and extracellular acidification. This review aims to provide an overview of the strengths and limitations of currently available molecular imaging strategies.
期刊介绍:
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine is a monthly online publication comprising reviews on different aspects of a variety of diseases, covering everything from the molecular and cellular bases of disease to translational medicine and new therapeutic strategies.
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine is thus unmatched in its depth of coverage and represents an essential source where readers can find informed surveys and critical discussion of advances in molecular medicine.
