Infos

Molecular imaging is primarily about the chemistry of novel
biological probes, yet the vast majority of practitioners are not
chemists or biochemists. This is the first book, written from a
chemist's point of view, to address the nature of the chemical
interaction between probe and environment to help elucidate
biochemical detail instead of bulk anatomy.

* Covers all of the fundamentals of modern imaging methodologies,
including their techniques and application within medicine and
industry

* Focuses primarily on the chemistry of probes and imaging
agents, and chemical methodology for labelling and
bioconjugation

* First book to investigate the chemistry of molecular
imaging

* Aimed at students as well as researchers involved in the area
of molecular imaging

Rezensionen

"This book fills a void in the area of molecular imaging from the eyes of a chemist, and I am convinced that it will be of great value for chemists who intend to learn more on this emerging topic." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 1 October 2015)
