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 |
