The relentless pace of innovation in biomedical imaging has provided modern researchers with an unprecedented number of techniques and tools to choose from. While the development of new imaging techniques is vital for ongoing progress in the life sciences, it is challenging for researchers to keep pace. Imaging Modalities for Biological and Preclinical Research is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of currently available biological and preclinical imaging methods, including their benefits and limitations. Experts in the field guide the reader through both the physical principles and biomedical applications of each imaging modality, including description of typical setups and sample preparation.
Volume 2 focuses on in vivo imaging methods, including intravital microscopy, ultrasound, MRI, CT and PET. Correlative multimodal imaging, (pre)clinical hybrid imaging techniques and multimodal image processing methods are also discussed. The volume concludes with a look ahead to emerging technologies and the future of imaging in biological and preclinical research.
Key Features
- Provides an overview of fast-evolving in-vivo imaging technologies.
- Bridges biological and preclinical imaging.
- Written by imaging specialists with extensive expertise in their respective fields.

Tentang Penulis
Andreas Walter is Director of Austrian Bio Imaging/CMI (www.bioimaging-austria.at). His goal is to advance correlated multimodality imaging (CMI) as a valuable tool in biomedical research. He is also the main proposer and Chair of the EU-funded COST Action COMULIS (CA17121) that aims at promoting the benefits of CMI through showcase pipelines and paving the way for its technological advancement and implementation as a versatile tool in biological and preclinical research (www.comulis.eu).Julia Mannheim is a group leader for PET and Multimodal Imaging Science in the Department of Preclinical Imaging and Radiopharmacy at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany, alongside being the Deputy Director of the Department since November 2014. She is an expert in PET quantification and reproducibility/reliability of the acquired data. Her focus is currently on the standardization of preclinical imaging to enhance the scientific integrity and reliability of the acquired data. Carmel J Caruana is Professor and Head of the Department of Medical Physics of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Malta where he lectures in x-ray imaging, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound and nuclear medicine imaging including PET/CT and PET/MRI. Carmel has over 30 years experience in the teaching of all imaging modalities to all healthcare professions and at all levels including the specialty level. He is very much involved in curriculum development for Medical Physicists at the European and international levels and was previously the Chair of the Education and Training Committee of the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics. In the last few years he is encouraging Medical Physicists to expand their scope of practice to pre-clinical and biological imaging.
