The quest for the ideal anato-molecular imaging fusion tool

The past decade has witnessed major scientific and technological advancements, and one among them was molecular imaging. Today, molecular imaging constitutes a major trend in biomedical research and seems to have the potential to revolutionise life sciences. Molecular imaging plays a valuable role in the assessment of cellular targets and the response to therapy, differential diagnosis, predict...

Future-Biased Search: The Quest for the Ideal

Decision-makers with ideal candidates already in mind often extend search beyond optimal endpoints when searching for the best option among a sequential list of alternatives. Extended search is investigated here using three laboratory experiments; individuals in these tasks exhibit future-bias, delaying choice beyond normative benchmarks. Searchers’ behavior is consistent with setting high thre...
