Possible ways to detect extra-solar planets in circumstellar disks using high-angular resolution measurements (imaging) are discussed. Since dust is expected to outshine the planet by scattering of stellar radiation and thermal emission, the most promising approach is to look for characteristic signatures in the circumstellar disk caused by the interaction with the planet.
