Imaging Angiogenesis and Myogenesis: The Final Piece of the Puzzle?
Elliot R. McVeigh Guest Editor

This article reviews recent developments in selected imaging technologies focused on the cardiovascular system. The techniques covered are: ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM), microSPECT, microPET, near infrared imaging, and quantum dots. For each technique, the basic physical principles are explained and recent example applications demonstrated.

Key Words: imaging • microPET • microSPECT • near infrared imaging • quantum dot • sultrasound imaging
