Bruker Daltonics expands Maldi Molecular Imager: News from Bruker Daltonics

Bruker Daltonics expands Maldi Molecular Imager: News from Bruker Daltonics
It seems all variants of imaging instrument companies want to associate themselves with the term 'molecular imaging'. The latest MALDI system from Bruker also incorporates it in a unique way!

VisEn Medical - Merck collaboration

VisEn Medical Announces Initiative With Merck to Develop Molecular Imaging Agents for Key Areas in Cardiovascular Disease
This could be the key collaboration in an effort to answer the complex biological phenomenons via in vivo optical imaging. I believe the future of Molecular imaging lies in development of such imaging paradigms to characterize in in vivo models all that one has learnt theoretically in basic medical sciences.

Siemens Medical Solutions Collaborates with Wyeth

Siemens Medical Solutions Collaborates with Wyeth to advance Molecular imaging for drug development. I guess more drug companies will vie for such opportunities to collaborate with other imaging companies.
