Angiogenesis of tumors has gained tremendous attention in the research community over the last years. Novel anti-angiogenic treatment protocols are currently in various phases of clinical testing. Thus, the major challenge for Radiological diagnostics is to develop imaging methods which reliably measure the angiogenic tumor burden as well as tumor response to anti-angiogenic treatment in vivo. This article intends to provide a brief overview of imaging strategies for angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic treatment.
