Hybrid Agents for Multimodal Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Pharmaceuticals is planning to publish a Special Issue, Hybrid Agents for Multimodal Imaging, and I am cordially inviting you to contribute an article to this volume, describing your latest research and, of course, reviews are welcome as well.

The use of imaging to visualize and characterize a wide variety of diseases is deeply embedded in routine clinical practice. In addition to conventional imaging, the combination of imaging modalities is of increasing relevance and an increasing number of complementary combinations are being used to the benefit of patients. For this reason, a growing field of research has been focusing for several years on the development of combined or combinable contrast agents that can be detected using multiple imaging modalities, thus allowing a complementary gain of information.

The goal of this Special Issue is to gather the latest developments in this area of hybrid imaging agent development for multimodal imaging to provide the most complete coverage of this exciting and forward-looking area of research.
