In vivo imaging is an important tool for preclinical studies of lung function and disease. The
widespread availability of multimodal animal imaging systems and the rapid rate of
diagnostic contrast agent development have empowered researchers to noninvasively study
lung function and pulmonary disorders. Investigators can identify, track, and quantify
biological processes over time. In this review, we highlight the fundamental principles of
bioluminescence, fluorescence, planar X-ray, X-ray computed tomography, magnetic …
