Description: The editors bring together a select group of internationally recognized authors, each drawing on their specific expertise, to highlight the diversity of skills necessary for the effective utilization and advancement of molecular and cellular imaging. The book provides a state-of-the-science overview of the various approaches that have been used to visualize cells and molecules by MR imaging and illustrates their application and translation into clinical settings. It examines the various contrast agents used, covers molecular imaging of genes and a range of disease states, discusses cellular imaging, and presents the future directions of the field.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
