Advantages of Nuclear Molecular Imaging

Whole body coverage
Whole tumor sampling
Non-destructive, non- or minimally invasive
Evaluates Live tissue not dead fixed tissue
Evaluates blood flow
Provides real time dynamic data/ allows for repeated measures
Provides data on how the tumor interacts with microenvironment
Tracer (i.e. nano to picomolar) concentrations of imaging agents
