The field of molecular imaging is grazed by two different animals—the workhorses, such as SPECT, PET and tried-and-true biomarkers like FDG, and the young, intrepid and unpredictable newcomers that have been given a name, taken around the track a couple times, but perhaps are still too fresh to be saddled with the responsibility of routine clinical use.

Molecular imaging holds the promise for improved patient management in medicine and surgery. To realize this goal, a thorough understanding of the instrumentation and diagnostic agents that comprise the field is necessary.

Biomarkers of (neuro)inflammation are useful as a diagnostic tool in drug development and therapy follow-up. The type 2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) is predominantly expressed in peripheral tissues and shows the highest expression levels in organs of the immune system [1]. …
