2 Biological Imaging Hypotheses Research tool in basic and clinical sciences Allows sophisticated strategies for translational research Supports clinical research by providing surrogate endpoints Allows acceleration of new drug development

3 Why Multi-Modality Imaging? More than Molecular Imaging Definition of Tissue Structure and Anatomy Tissue Density, MR-Relaxation, Backscatter Measurement of Physiologic Function Blood Flow, Tissue/Organ Performance Quantitation of Protein Expression Receptor Ligands, Enzyme-Substrate Determination of Down Stream Effects Tracer Transport, Metabolism Assessment of Gene Expression Antisense and Reporter Gene Imaging
