Design and Applications of Nanoparticles in Biomedical Imaging

Zusatztext

This book covers the state-of-the-art technology of using nanoparticles in biomedical imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound imaging, computed tomography, and optical imaging. Topics include nanoparticles for magnetic particle imaging (MRI), siRNA delivery, theranostic nanoparticles and PET imaging of drug delivery, US nanoparticles for drug delivery, inorganic nanoparticles for targeted CT imaging, and quantum dots. This book serves as a valuable resource on the fundamental science of diagnostic nanoparticles in their interactions with biological targets, providing a platform technology for clinical implementation and improved detection of disease.This book also: Broadens readers' understanding of optical imaging, including fluorescent nanoparticles for the visualization of protein trafficking and hyperspectral microscopy using colloidal quantum dots Covers the latest developments in computing tomography, from inorganic nanoparticles for targeted CT imaging to metalbased nanoparticles for CT imaging Shares many insights into the stateoftheart in ultrasound imaging, such as US bubbles, cell tracking and US nanoparticles for drug delivery Enriches readers' understanding of the most uptodate technology in using PET nanoparticles to target tumor metastasis, PET imaging of drug delivery, and Nanoparticles for magnetic particle imaging (MRI)
