Abstract
In order to achieve even more widespread adoption over the next 5 years, a number of issues in mass spectrometry imaging need to be addressed. These are non-observation of compounds (due to ionization suppression), sample throughput, imaging of low-abundant species, and how to extract information from the large volumes of data generated. In this article, how current research indicates that these issues will be resolved along with potential application areas that MSI could look to exploit is discussed.
