Molecular Imaging of the Lungs

Informationen zum Autor Daniel P. Schuster, Timothy S. Blackwell Klappentext This authoritative reference reviews current and emerging molecular imaging modalities that are expected to impact the detection and treatment of lung diseases in the near future-including applications in gene expression and inflammation imaging; the imaging of pulmonary cytokine regulation; the molecular imaging of angiogenesis, the airways, and lung cancer; and the imaging of cellular death and cell trafficking.
