Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are branches of biomedicine in which biochemical and functional information are displayed in images. However, the interpretation of these images (and thus their significance) depends very much on the ability to quantify the processes being studied and, with the help of detailed morphological imaging, localise them within specific anatomical volumes. Now, thanks to theoretical and empirical advances, both of these problems, for many years conundrums, are in the process of being solved. In the study of coronary artery disease (CAD), the quantification and precise localisation of pathophysiological processes is a growing area of applied clinical research.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are branches of biomedicine in which biochemical and functional information are displayed in images. However, the interpretation of these images (and thus their significance) depends very much on the ability to quantify the processes being studied and, with the help of detailed morphological imaging, localise them within specific anatomical volumes. Now, thanks to theoretical and empirical advances, both of these problems, for many years conundrums, are in the process of being solved. In the study of coronary artery disease (CAD), the quantification and precise localisation of pathophysiological processes is a growing area of applied clinical research.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
