Molecular imaging in living subjects: seeing fundamental biological processes in a new light. (2003, background): “…sensitive than radionuclide and optical techniques, which offer higher levels of sensitivity for imaging relatively low levels of reporter probe (see below): as low as 10−12 mole/L of radiolabeled substrate for PET (Phelps 1991), and probably in the femtomolar range for bioluminescence imaging.”
