Abstract:
The study of the human phenome is essential for understanding the complexities of wellness and disease and their transitions, with molecular imaging being a vital tool in this exploration. Molecular imaging embodies the 4 principles of human phenomics: precise measurement, accurate calculation or analysis, well-controlled manipulation or intervention, and innovative invention or creation. Its application has significantly enhanced the precision, individualization, and effectiveness of medical interventions. This article provides an overview of molecular imaging's technologic advancements and presents the potential use of molecular imaging in human phenomics and precision medicine. The integration of molecular imaging with multiomics data and artificial intelligence has the potential to transform health care, promoting proactive and preventive strategies. This evolving approach promises to deepen our understanding of the human phenome, lead to preclinical diagnostics and treatments, and establish quantitative frameworks for precision health management.
