Performing MRI, PET/CT, and optical imaging at the cellular scale in vivo provides highly complementary information as a powerful tool to study cancer metabolism. Recent development of implanted optical windows allows for optical imaging in vivo. Here, we demonstrate multi-modal and multi-scale imaging of tumor progression in a mouse model of breast cancer by performing optical imaging through an implanted window, and whole-body MRI and PET/CT in a single day. The challenge of PET-MR registration is also addressed using dual-PET-MR fiducial markers embedded in a custom-imaging tray.
