Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personalized medicine employing patient-based tailor-made therapeutic drugs is taking over treatment paradigms in a variety of ?elds in oncology and the central nervous system. The success of such therapies is mainly dependent on ef?cacious therapeutic drugs and a selective imaging probe for identi?cation of potential responders as well as therapy monitoring for an early bene?t assessment. Molecular imaging (MI) is based on the selective and speci?c interaction of a molecular probe with a biological target which is visualized through nuclear, magnetic resonance, near infrared or other methods. Therefore it is the method of choice for patient selection and therapy monitoring as well as for speci?c e- point monitoring in modern drug development. PET (positron emitting tomography), a nuclear medical imaging modality, is ideally suited to produce three-dimensional images of various targets or processes. The rapidly increasing demand for highly selective probes for MI strongly pushes the development of new PET tracers and PET chemistry. ‘PET chemistry’ can be de?ned as the study of positron-emitting compounds regarding their synthesis, structure, composition, reactivity, nuclear properties and processes and their properties in natural and - natural environments. In practice PET chemistry is strongly in?uenced by the unique properties of the radioisotopes used (e. g. , half-life, che- cal reactivity, etc. ) and integrates scienti?c aspects of nuclear-, organic-, inorganic- and biochemistry.
Download or read book Magneto Optical Imaging written by Tom H. Johansen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-05-31 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magneto-Optical Imaging has developed rapidly over the last decade to emerge as a leading technique to directly visualise the static and dynamic magnetic behaviour of materials, capable of following magnetic processes on the scale of centimeters to sub-microns and at timescales from hours to nanoseconds. The images are direct, real-time, and give space-resolved information, such as ultrafast magnetic processes and revealing the motion of individual vortices in superconductors. The book is a fully up-to-date report of the present status of the technique.
Download or read book Molecular Anatomic Imaging written by Gustav Konrad von Schulthess and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2007 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated Second Edition focuses sharply on clinical PET-CT and SPECT-CT examinations, omitting lengthy physics discussions. The book is now strictly disease oriented and integrates PET-CT and SPECT-CT applications completely. When both techniques are relevant for a disease, they are discussed together; when only one is relevant, it is discussed alone. More than 1,200 illustrations are included. A bound-in DVD contains over 80 cases to be viewed in three orthogonal planes and different CT windows organized as reference and self-assessment files. The cases provide excellent training and allow readers to test their abilities in making diagnoses on their own.

Download or read book Optoelectronic Devices written by M Razeghi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tremendous progress has been made in the last few years in the growth, doping and processing technologies of the wide bandgap semiconductors. As a result, this class of materials now holds significant promis for semiconductor electronics in a broad range of applications. The principal driver for the current revival of interest in III-V Nitrides is their potential use in high power, high temperature, high frequency and optical devices resistant to radiation damage. This book provides a wide number of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides and covers the entire process from growth to devices and applications making it essential reading for those working in the semiconductors or microelectronics. Broad review of optoelectronic applications of III-V nitrides
Download or read book Biomaterial tissue Interfaces written by P. J. Doherty and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomaterial-Tissue Interfaces, reflects not only the dominant theme of biomaterials research at present, but also the importance attached by the editors to understanding the events that occur at the interface where biomaterial meets tissue. The book is based on papers presented at the 9th Conference of the European Society of Biomaterials. The structure of the conference was slightly unconventional as it contained a number of dedicated sessions where the subject matter was chosen in advance and a number of leading research groups were invited to present their most recent work. Also included is a summary of the discussions which took place at the 2nd Consensus Conference on Definitions in Biomaterials. Definitions agreed upon are detailed together with the votes cast and the arguments which precipitated these definitions. At present there is little agreement as to what constitutes a biologically safe material, and even less a 'biocompatible' material. The critical point being, what should be measured and what the measurements mean. These parameters remain poorly defined.The many papers dealing with experimental observation on biological safety and biocompatibility attests to the growing awareness of the need for objectivity and quantification. This book focuses on the interface between advanced material science and biological sciences and brings together a wealth of expertise in advanced engineering and clinical sciences from the leading researchers in the field. The book also includes a summary of the discussions which took place at the 2nd Consensus Conference on Definitions in Biomaterials and the definitions agreed upon are detailed.
