The elective subject Molecular Imaging Methods provides an overview of the modern method of structural and
molecular imaging of human body tissues by imaging methods with a focus on internal imaging
structure, chemical composition of tissues, blood circulation of tissues, exchange of substances between individual compartments by methods
computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as hybrid imaging with positron emission
tomography. The course provides an overview of clinical applications of various types of molecular imaging and their
clinical perspective in the future.
