Abstract

Molecular imaging of tumors in preclinical models is of the utmost importance for developing innovative cancer treatments. This field is moving extremely rapidly, with recent advances in optical imaging technologies and sophisticated molecular probes for in vivo imaging. The aim of this review is to provide a succinct overview of the imaging modalities available for rodents and with focus on describing optical probes for cancer imaging.
