Introduction: Molecular imaging allows for non-invasive longitudinal visualization of cellular functions in vivo. This area of research has provided better understanding of fundamental molecular and biochemical processes, enabled optimization of pre-clinical and clinical assessments for new treatments, and allowed for more accurate and early detection of many pathologies. Extensive research for novel imaging techniques and emerging technologies have rapidly advanced the field. However, an ideal single imaging modality or approach does not exist. Alternatively, multi-modal imaging approaches are commonly applied to overcome limitations of individual technologies. In this thesis, we design, develop, validate, and image various cell types using …
