Targeted imaging is a research area that focuses on developing imaging techniques and technologies that specifically target and visualize specific molecules, cells, tissues, or organs within the body. This type of imaging allows for more accurate and precise visualization of disease processes, as well as monitoring of treatment responses. Targeted imaging often involves the use of contrast agents or probes that selectively bind to target molecules or structures, enhancing the contrast between normal and abnormal tissues in imaging studies such as MRI, CT, PET, or ultrasound. This field is important for advancing personalized and precision medicine, as well as improving diagnosis and treatment monitoring in a variety of medical conditions.
