The Chemistry of Molecular Imaging

Covering all the fundamentals of modern imaging methodologies, including their techniques and application within medicine and industry, The Chemistry of Molecular Engineering focuses primarily on the chemistry of probes and imaging agents, as well as chemical methodology for labelling and bioconjugation. Written by an interdisciplinary team of experts, this book investigates the chemistry of molecular imaging and helps to educate non-chemists already involved in the area of molecular imaging. It addresses all the major modalities and techniques, such as MRI, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, ultrasound, and fluorescence/optical imaging.
