Non-Invasive Imaging in the Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Chapter
Small Animal Imaging

Abstract

Over recent years, whilst it is taking increased time and cost to get a new drug to market, productivity is declining. It is critical for the survival of the pharmaceutical industry, to both improve efficiency of the drug discovery and development process and to increase success rates, with better predictivity from preclinical to clinical investigation (Kola. 2008). Imaging provides unique tools to improve efficiency and predictivity.
