Molecular imaging

Molecular imaging is like taking pictures of the inside of the body, but instead of just seeing bones and organs, it lets you see tiny things called molecules. Molecules are super tiny things that make up everything in the body. Using special cameras and machines, doctors can take pictures of the molecules inside the body to see how they're working and find any problems.

It's like looking through a microscope, but instead of looking at something small on a slide, doctors are looking at the inside of the body. They can use different colors and techniques to highlight different types of molecules so they can see where they are and what they're doing.

Molecular imaging is really helpful because it lets doctors see problems that might not show up on regular scans or X-rays. They can find out if a cancer is spreading or if there's inflammation in the body. It can help them make a diagnosis and create a treatment plan to help the body get better.
