Molecular Imaging

The detection and measurement of the dynamic interactions of proteins within the living cell are critical to the understanding of cell physiology and pathophysiology. The field of molecular imaging of living subjects continues to expand and has seen dramatic advances in chemistry, engineering and biomedical applications. Molecular Imaging: Principles and Practice, Second Edition provides the first point of entry to the research for all scientists interested in this multi-disciplinary field. Molecular imaging is very diverse: new investigators, collaborators, and students entering this field need an authoritative reference to bring this field together. Editors Brian Ross and Sam Gambhir designed this revision precisely to fill this need.

The most authoritative and effective resource available in the field, written by over 170 of the leading scientists from around the world who have evaluated and summarized the most important methods, principles, technologies and data within the fieldConcepts illustrated with over 600 color figures and molecular-imaging examplesThis edition packed with innovative science, including: Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM); Mass Spectrometry Imaging; Combining In vitro and in vivo diagnostics; Raman Imaging; Optogenetics; FDA approval of current imaging agents
