MICAD has been developed as a key component of the Molecular Libraries and Imaging
Molecular Libraries and Imaging Pathway to Discovery of the NIH Roadmap. MICAD is a freely accessible database that catalogs in a comprehensive and easily accessible manner key research data on in vivo molecular imaging and contrast agents. The MICAD database includes, but is not limited to, agents developed for positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), optical imaging, planar radiography, and planar gamma imaging.
