title: IMAGING OF NEURO-INFLAMMATION: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
abstract: The investigation of dynamic processes with long time profiles can profit from longitudinal noninvasive imaging modalities. In this contribution the potential and limits of in vivo imaging modalities are discussed as regards monitoring neuro-inflammation. Complementary information derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) and bioluminescence imaging (BLI) will be presented.
