How Is In Vivo Imaging Applied in Research and Medicine?
In vivo imaging has a wide range of applications in both research and clinical settings:
Cancer Research: Allows for the study of tumor growth, metastasis, and response to therapies in real-time. Neuroscience: Facilitates the observation of neuronal circuits, brain activity, and neurodegenerative processes. Cardiology: Enables the visualization of cardiovascular structures and functions, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases. Developmental Biology: Provides insights into embryonic development and cellular differentiation. Regenerative Medicine: Assists in tracking the fate of transplanted cells and tissues in vivo.
