The authors of the book give therefore an overview of the relatively new topic of molecular imaging, with broad background to basic but also clinical sciences. The present book is best suited not only for the beginners in the area to gain some overview of the feature, but also for professionals to see trends of other groups from all over the world. Molecular imaging has rapidly gained influence in medicine, not only for different research projects, but also in the view of personalized medicine. The door for personalized medicine is now widely open. Also in this direction, the present book gives more than only a little food for thought. Even if Molecular Imaging covers a broad part of the whole topic, it was and it is not our goal to be comprehensive. Such a project can never be complete, and different authors from all over the world can only give some insights of their daily work. Ideas how molecular imaging will develop in the near future present a special delicacy. We hope that readers will enjoy this book. I would like to thank all those who made the project possible, especially Ms Pantar and Mrs Durovic from InTech. They both were angels for the authors.
