Zusammenfassung:Through its role in (routine) patient care, nuclear medicine has set the standard for molecular imaging: the sensitivity and specificity of the available (multimodality) nuclear imaging technologies (SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MR) are superior to those of any other clinical imaging modality. Nevertheless, efforts are ongoing to apply ultrasound, magnetic resonance and/or optical imaging techniques to molecular imaging in the clinic.
