Nanotechnology for Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics

Nanotechnology for Biomedical Imaging and Diagnostics: From
Nanoparticle Design to Clinical Applications reflects upon the
increasing role of nanomaterials in biological and medical imaging,
presenting a thorough description of current research as well
as future directions. With contributions from experts in
nanotechnology and imaging from academia, industry, and
healthcare, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of the
field, ranging from the architectural design of nanomaterials to
their broad imaging applications in medicine.

Grouped into three sections, the book:

• Elucidates all major aspects of nanotechnology and
  bioimaging

• Provides comprehensive coverage of the field, ranging from the
  architectural design of nanomaterials to their broad imaging
  applications in medicine

• Written by well-recognized experts in academia, industry, and
  healthcare, will be an excellence source of reference

• With a multidisciplinary approach and a balance of research and
  diagnostic topics, this book will appeal to students, scientiests,
  and healthcare professionals alike
