“…Conclusions and recommendations on the following issues were addressed: (a) health care environment, financing, and costs, (b) imaging technology and the scope of imaging in the future, (c) manpower; (d) the future effect of information technology, (e) turf and competition, and (f) quality and outcomes of care. Earlier the same organization convened a think-tank of experts on the new field of molecular imaging [7]. Furthermore, Becker [3] addressed in his oration the future developments of especially interventional radiology.…”

There is a need in The Netherlands to understand the future prospects of imaging techniques in cancer care to deal with current and expected capacity decisions. For this, a Delphi research was performed with a panel of 35 noted experts. The panel anticipates that the application of imaging techniques (e.g., CT, MRI, PET) will gradually change; especially, their use will also include earlier stages, i.e., cancer screening and treatment. The increasing need and investments for these techniques will be partly balanced by new developments (e.g., faster technology). There will be a substantial decrease in the use of ultrasound, CT (except for screening), and conventional radiographic diagnostics. Radical new techniques and/or developments are not expected. The panel foresees increasing partial task substitution and subspecialization. Further, a profound impact on imaging techniques is expected from developments outside the imaging field such as digitalization, changing patient demands, and commercialization.

Development of molecular imaging in the European radiological communityAbstract The recent and concomitant advances in molecular biology and imaging for diagnosis and therapy will place in vivo imaging techniques at the centre of their clinical transfer. Before that, a wide range of multidisciplinary preclinical research is already taking place. The involvement of radiologists in this new field of imaging sciences is therefore absolutely mandatory during these two phases of development. Achievement of such objectives requires the refinement of strategy within the European radiological community and the European Society of Radiology (ESR) will have to drive a number of actions to stimulate the younger generation of radiologists and to facilitate their access to knowledge. For that purpose, a molecular imaging (MI) subcommittee of the ESR Research Committee based on a group of involved radiologists will be constituted to develop contacts with other constitutive committees and associated societies to provide proposals to our community.

“…5 FDG PET is performed in a facility that has all of the accreditation necessary to operate such equipment. The scan should be read by an expert in nuclear medicine, radiology, neurology, or psychiatry with experience interpreting such scans in the presence of dementia 6 A brain SPECT or FDG PET scan has not been obtained for the same indication. 7…”

“…It was our goal to discuss in this series of articles the potential for molecular imaging to become an integral and important part of future clinical radiology practice. Molecular imaging techniques will allow us to assay and identify important and key alterations in molecular pathways, signal transduction, and receptor levels due to disease (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Molecular imaging studies will provide important information for clinicians to elucidate the behavior of many diseases and their response to certain drugs and therapies (7)(8)(9).…”

Regulatory and Reimbursement Challenges for Molecular Imaging

Molecular imaging is being hailed as the next great advance for imaging. Since molecular imaging typically involves the use of specific imaging probes that are treated like drugs, they will require regulatory approval. As with any drug, molecular imaging probes and techniques will also require thorough assessment in clinical trials to show safety and efficacy. The timeline for the regulatory approval will be long and potentially problematic because of the mounting costs of obtaining final regulatory approval. The current article is a detailed review of the regulatory and reimbursement process that will be required for molecular imaging probes and techniques to become a widespread clinical reality. The role of molecular imaging in the therapeutic drug discovery process will also be reviewed, as this is where these exciting new techniques have the potential to revolutionize the drug discovery and development process and, it is hoped, make it less costly. [(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-2-D-glucose positron emission tomography, one of the first molecular imaging techniques to be widely used, will be used as an example to illustrate the process of obtaining eventual reimbursement for widespread clinical use.
