Essentials of In Vivo Biomedical Imaging

This book helps scientists and physician–scientists choose and utilize the appropriate in vivo imaging technologies and methods for their research. Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, this authoritative reference text explains what each in vivo imaging technology can measure, describes major in vivo imaging methods and approaches, and gives examples demonstrating the rich repertoire of modern biomedical imaging to address a wide range of morphological, functional, metabolic, and molecular parameters in a safe and noninvasive manner.

While there are many excellent texts focused on clinical medical imaging, there are few books that approach in vivo imaging technologies from the perspective of a scientist or physician–scientist using, or interested in using, these techniques in research. It is for these individuals that Essentials of In Vivo Biomedical Imaging is written.

Featuring contributions from leading experts in the field, this authoritative reference text helps answer the following often-asked questions: Can imaging address my question? Which technique should I use? How does it work? What information does it provide? What are its strengths and limitations? What applications is it best suited for? How can I analyze the data?

By explaining what each imaging technology can measure, describing major methods and approaches, and giving examples demonstrating the rich repertoire of modern biomedical imaging to address a wide range of morphological, functional, metabolic, and molecular parameters in a safe and noninvasive manner, Essentials of In Vivo Biomedical Imaging helps scientists and physician–scientists choose and utilize the appropriate in vivo imaging technologies and methods for their research.
