Imaging the Pancreatic Beta Cell (original) (raw)

The paper explores advanced imaging technologies for pancreatic beta-cell observation, focusing on techniques like optical projection tomography (OPT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). It highlights the significance of non-invasive imaging for early diagnosis and monitoring of type 1 diabetes (T1D), emphasizing the role of BCM assessment in diabetes progression and treatment efficacy. The study presents a detailed overview of recent advancements in optical imaging methods aimed at improving the understanding of pancreatic pathology and therapeutic strategies.
