N2 - The combination of advanced macroscopic visualization methods with the ability to impart molecular contrast in-vivo in whole tissues offers an exciting new tool with large potential in basic research, drug discovery and clinical application. One of the most recent technological evolutions has been the development of fluorescence tomography for visualization at the whole animal or tissue level. This technology allows for three dimensional imaging of fluorescence bio-distribution in whole animals, is insensitive to optical tissue heterogeneity and offers great promise as a versatile platform for non-invasive fluorescence imaging. Key technological advances in the field are herein summarized.
