Optical molecular imaging represents an emerging method that can detect pathobiological processes in vivo at the cellular and molecular levels, offering a dynamic link between imaging and biology. This review discusses the impact of molecular imaging methods in atherosclerosis research and preventive medicine and focuses on the inflammation-dependent mechanisms of arterial calcification.
