During this first hundred years of radiology since William Roentgen discovered x-rays, there has been an incredible improvement in the ability to detail anatomy. Since these days there has been a major development in radiology approx. every decade. A major new development is Molecular Imaging.

Our goals are ambitious, but progress in the academic Molecular Imaging community to date has been truly exciting. The prospects of accelerating biomedical discoveries into clinically useful tools represent an extraordinary opportunity. Having the blueprint of the genome and the ability of functional screening of genes brings us to a great scientific frontier. The aspiration of this new foundation then is to build upon it to develop “imageable” molecular markers for human diseases.

Future applications of the Molecular Imaging and genomic/proteomic knowledge promises far-reaching benefits to patient treatment. Gene tests have been among the first commercial products of new genetic discoveries. These tests can be used to diagnose disease before symptoms occur, provide prognostic information and predict disease in progeny. Imaging similar molecular disease markers would add spatial localization to the identified abnormalities.

Molecular Imaging research have spurred a boom in academic and more recently industrial sectors. To stimulate further research, Siemens will play an active role in Molecular Imaging research and development and foster wide-spread collaborations. Our goal is to generate novel methods of imaging molecular targets and signaling networks, which underlie disease processes.
