Opis

Molecular imaging plays an important role in drug discovery and advanced medical practice. A symposium of world leaders in drug research and development, molecular imaging, and medical therapy including regenerative treatment and radiation therapy has led to the publication of this book. Based on the proceedings of the symposium, many excellent ideas and valuable discussions are introduced that will guide the reader toward new advances in photon detection and protein modification as well as new developments in molecular imaging itself. Both protein modification and photon detection are emerging technologies that hold forth the promise of innovative strategies for drug discovery and medical care. The publication of these proceedings is a timely means of sharing significant experience and knowledge with many specialists all over the world. This book will be of great value to a wide variety of researchers in the fields of drug development and molecular imaging technologies, leading to integrated medical therapy and progress in human health.

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The book is divided into 4 parts and 28 presentations, with multiple authors for each presentation, and an introductory overview by the editors on advances in molecular imaging. ... This book is intended for researchers involved in molecular imaging or drug development and clinicians who treat patients with or without cancer. The material will be useful to individuals familiar with this discipline and those who are new to this discipline and will likely be involved with personalized medical care." (Aurelio Matamoros, Jr., The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 53 (7), July, 2012)
