Nanotechnology for Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics: From
Nanoparticle Design to Clinical Applications reflects upon the
increasing role of nanomaterials in biological and medical imaging,
presenting a thorough description of current research as well
as future directions. With contributions from experts in
nanotechnology and imaging from academia, industry, and
healthcare, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of the
field, ranging from the architectural design of nanomaterials to
their broad imaging applications in medicine.
Grouped into three sections, the book:
* Elucidates all major aspects of nanotechnology and
bioimaging
* Provides comprehensive coverage of the field, ranging from the
architectural design of nanomaterials to their broad imaging
applications in medicine
* Written by well-recognized experts in academia, industry, and
healthcare, will be an excellence source of reference
* With a multidisciplinary approach and a balance of research and
diagnostic topics, this book will appeal to students, scientiests,
and healthcare professionals alike
