Molecular imaging approaches to visualizing viral infection and immune response
Infectious disease poses a major threat to global human health, as highlighted by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Assessment, treatment, and curative interventions of infectious diseases may benefit from the development of molecular imaging approaches. Nuclear imaging agents may be able to quantify the extent of the infection and the presence of viral reservoirs, be useful in drug development, and ultimately assess treatment response and curative strategies. This presentation will highlight the preparation, preclinical development, the pathway to first-in-human evaluation and results from the clinical research studies. Radiopharmaceutical approaches may be powerful tools for the characterization of viral infection and immune activation.
Session Learning Objectives
- Describe and identify molecular imaging approaches to visualize infectious disease in vivo.
- Identify radiopharmaceuticals that recognize infectious disease signatures.
- Determine how molecular imaging may improve infectious disease interventions.
