Molecular Imaging and Contrast Agent Database (MICAD)

   
NIH, USA

     The Molecular Imaging and Contrast Agent Database (MICAD) is an online source of information on in vivo molecular imaging agents based on recommendations from the extramural community. MICAD was established as a key component of the “Molecular Libraries and Imaging” program of the NIH Roadmap, a set of major inter-agency initiatives accelerating medical research.

    The database includes but is not limited to agents developed for positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), optical imaging, planar radiogragphy, and planar gamma imaging. It contains textual information, references, numerous links to MEDLINE, and additional related resources at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and elsewhere.
