In vivo fluorescence imaging of small animals in preclinical research is used widely across a variety of disciplines such as oncology and infectious disease. It provides a means of detecting a fluorescent signal within a living animal reflecting specific, mostly disease-related, processes, such as parts of the host immune response, inflammation, cancer growth or the presence of pathogens. As well as offering many advantages as a stand-alone technique, it is highly complementary to other imaging modalities.
