**8. Molecular imaging**

The presented scans show also vascular and important subcellular aspects contributing to the final diagnosis by predicting typical disease features. The options for biochemical or immunologic in vivo imaging by using antibodies or cell surface markers can be evaluated in the future after establishing NLM as an in vivo tool for neurosurgery providing a cellular and subcellular view. This subcellular view already enabled physiologic investigations in skin (Lademann et al., 2007) (Suihko et al., 2005).
