Rezensionen

From the reviews: "In Vivo Imaging of Cancer Therapy discusses the various imaging modalities that can be useful for imaging not only anatomical structure, but also tumour metabolism and biochemistry and chemotherapy drug pharmacokinetics. It is intended for medical professionals involved in cancer imaging, treatment, and research. ... the chapters contain advanced scientific detail best intended for researchers in the field. ... This book would be useful for those technologists wanting to know what new techniques are being developed in the field of cancer imaging." (Sheri Grahame, Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, Vol. 39 (105), June, 2008)
