Abstract

Examples of pharmaco-imaging in translational science and research include whole body infrared imaging of normal healthy mouse, magnetic resonance imaging of normal healthy mouse calf muscle, and magnetic resonance imaging of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patient brain. Rationales, experimental design, study outcomes, and conclusions are presented.
