Driven primarily by the widespread availability of various small-animal models of human diseases replicating accurately biological and biochemical processes \u003ci\u003ein vivo\u003c\/i\u003e, this is a relatively new yet rapidly expanding field that has excellent potential to become a powerful tool in biomedical research and drug development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to being a powerful clinical tool, a number of imaging modalities including but not limited to CT, MRI, SPECT and PET are also used in small laboratory animal research to visualize and track certain molecular processes associated with diseases such as cancer, heart disease and neurological disorders in living small animal models of disease. \u003ci\u003eIn vivo\u003c\/i\u003e small-animal imaging is playing a pivotal role in the scientific research paradigm enabling to understand human molecular biology andpathophysiology using, for instance, genetically engineered mice with spontaneous diseases that closely mimic human diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eHabib Zaidi, Ph.D is Chief Physicist and head of the PET Instrumentation \u0026amp; Neuroimaging Laboratory at Geneva University Hospital and faculty member at the medical school of Geneva University.
