Content:
Molecular imaging provides one of the fastest routes from the discovery of a biochemical activity to exploiting its physiological, pharmaceutical or therapeutical use. In vivo imaging of animal models of human diseases will contribute to the more rapid discovery, development and evaluation of new therapeutic approaches. The ability to use non invasive explorations of intact living organisms means that such explorations may be repeated again and again during an organism's lifetime, building a picture of development as the organism grows. This will greatly facilitate the study of embryological and organ development. This book describes the new non invasive imaging modalities in a clear, easy to follow format. It reviews the techniques and their uses in the study of living multicellular organisms, concentrating on small animal models of human diseases. It demonstrates: the kind of information modern in vivo imaging techniques offer; how they replace the more precise but destructive histological techniques; and their main advantages.
