Abstract:
Optical imaging is a valuable technique for visualizing and quantifying biological processes in living -organisms. Optical imaging can be divided into two main imaging modalities: bioluminescence imaging and fluorescence imaging. This chapter describes the use of these imaging techniques to image tumour cells in mouse models of cancer and to detect early bone metastasis.
