Enhancing Translational Medicine: Preclinical Imaging Meets Clinical Radiology

Koros Christos

Translational medicine, the process of translating scientific discoveries into practical applications for patient care, has gained momentum with the integration of preclinical imaging into clinical radiology. This article explores the synergistic relationship between preclinical imaging and clinical radiology, highlighting its potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving early disease detection, treatment monitoring, and personalized medicine. We discuss the feasibility, merits, and challenges of bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical imaging, ultimately emphasizing the promising future of this interdisciplinary approach in enhancing translational medicine.

MRI depicted abnormal or intervened tissue at quality and resolution sufficient for experimental studies. The paper discussed limitations of the clinical systems in preclinical imaging as well as challenges regarding the need of additional gadgets, modifications, or upgrades required for longitudinally scanning animals under anesthesia while monitoring their vital signs. Clinical imaging technologies can potentially make cost-effective and efficient contributions to preclinical efforts in obtaining anatomical, structural, and functional information from the underlying tissue while minimally compromising the data quality in certain situations.
