心血管核医学分子影像研究进展

The research progress of nuclear medicine on cardiovascular molecular imaging

心血管分子影像研究是一项崭新且具有巨大临床应用前景的课题，核医学影像是目前分子影像学的主流技术之一，具有无创伤性、灵敏度高、合乎生理条件、可定量等优点，代表了分子影像学发展的前沿。近年来，核医学在心血管分子影像的研究中取得了突出成绩，为心血管疾病的病理生理过程研究以及基因治疗的监测开辟了广阔的空间。

Cardiovascular molecular imaging is a rapidly evolving discipline and its clinical application is promising. Nuclear medicine is playing a leading role in this field with its special superiority of noninvasive, quantifiability, high sensitivity and specificity. It provides broad opportunities for exploring the pathophysiologic process of cardiovascular diseases and monitoring its gene therapy in the molecular level. In this review, we mainly discuss some basic knowledge on cardiovascular molecular imaging, and then focus on the applied research prospect of nuclear medicine radionuclide imaging.
