Dr. Zhou’s talk, titled "Advancing Molecular MR with Multiparametric and Multimodal Imaging", focuses on the use of targeted contrast agents in molecular MR for highly specific imaging of biological processes. When integrated with other MR readouts, such as structural and functional imaging, it enhances the multiparametric characterization of tissue disease states. Additionally, hybrid PET/MR enables simultaneous and synergistic imaging, combining molecular sensitivity and specificity with morphologic and functional imaging. This approach opens new avenues of exploration in areas such as cancer, chronic injury, metabolic diseases, and molecular probe development.
