PET imaging has high sensitivity, however, it can provide only spatial resolutions in the range of millimeters [70]. On the other hand, optical fluorescence can provide subcellular resolution for in vivo window chamber imaging or ex vivo imaging for preclinical studies [71]. However, it has a lower tissue penetration than PET because of the strong absorption of nearinfrared (NIR) and visible light in living tissues. Thus, the combination of PET and fluorescence imaging modalities can provide high sensitivity, high resolution and deep tissue penetration.

Jo et al. J. Kim et al. studies in experimental models and clinical trials have demonstrated that islet transplantation represents an alternative approach to insulin therapy since islet transplantation provides a better normalization of metabolic control [3]. For clinical islet transplantation, the procedure involves infusion of isolated islets in the liver via the portal vein.
