Diagnostic Imaging Agent (DIA)

Target: DIA
Molecular classification: Small Molecule, Radionuclide, Gaseous Tracer, Other

Overview

A diagnostic imaging agent, also known as a physical tracer, is a compound (often radiolabeled) used to visualize and characterize biological processes. These agents target various molecules indicative of disease state, enabling early detection and monitoring of treatment response via imaging modalities like PET and SPECT. The selection of the appropriate tracer is dependent on the characteristic being investigated.
