Contrast Media & Molecular Imaging
Molecular Imaging in Targeted Therapeutics
With the rapid development of precision medicine, targeted therapy of tumors has
made great advances. However, tumors of the same type were found to harbor
different molecular alterations such as specific receptor, transporter, cell expression
levels before and even during the targeted therapy. Molecular imaging allows
mapping of disease markers in vivo and disease biology understanding. It promotes
targeted therapy by therapeutic effect prediction, early response evaluation and
therapeutic regimen determination in preclinical and clinical settings. Molecular
imaging technologies are being recognized as the one of most valuable tools in the
field of precision medicine, which will make individual treatment decisions for better
patient outcome care.
The main focus of this special issue will be on the recent advances of molecular
imaging for targeted treatment strategies in precision medicine. We particularly take
an interest in manuscripts that report of targeted therapeutics of molecular imaging for
tumors, but not limited to tumors. This special issue accepts original research articles
as well as review articles that will show a diversity of new developments in these
areas.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
 Molecular imaging guided therapy in targeted chemotherapy, internal
radiotherapy, and precision surgery.
 New advances in molecular imaging for prediction, monitoring, and early
response evaluation of targeted therapy in preclinical and clinical settings.
 Applications in targeted therapy of malignant tumors and benign disease, such as
inflammation/immune disorders, heart and brain disorders (AD, PD).
 Molecular imaging in passive targeted therapy such as chemoembolization,
brachytherapy, drug-encapsulated implant and nanoparticle.
 New target spot such as specific gene, receptor, transporter, antigen and
synthesized targeting probes.
 PET, SPECT, MR, ultrasound, fluorescence, photoacoustic and multimodal
imaging.
