Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedical imaging, in particular to an imaging system and imaging method for living small animals. Background technique
[0002] Molecular imaging is an imaging method emerging in recent years that can dynamically observe biological events at the cellular and molecular levels in small living animals. It can be applied to early diagnosis of cancer, dynamic detection of tumor growth and metastasis, development of new drugs, etc. Mainly use traditional medical instruments such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance imaging), PET (positron emission tomography, positron emission tomography), SPECT (single photonemission computed tomography, single photon emission tomography), etc., combined with different Molecular probes for molecular imaging. Fluorescence tomography is a non-destructive optical tomography technology. Compared with traditional imaging methods, its advantages are that it is ...
