The cutting-edge guide on advancing the science of
molecular imaging using nanoparticles

Nanoplathform-Based Molecular Imaging provides rationale for
using nanoparticle-based probes for molecular imaging, then
discusses general strategies for this underutilized, yet promising,
technology. It addresses general strategies of particle synthesis
and surface chemistry, applications in computed tomography optical
imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, multimodality
imaging, theranostics, and finally, the clinical perspectives of
nanoimaging. This comprehensive volume summarizes the opinions of
those in the forefront of research and describes the latest
developments by emphasizing fundamentals and initiating hands-on
application.

Autor

Xiaoyuan Chen received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Idaho and was an Associate Professor of Radiology in the School of Medicine at Stanford University before joining the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a senior investigator and the Laboratory of Molecular Imaging and Nanomedicine (LOMIN) as chief. He is the author of more than 200 scholarly articles and has edited one book to date. Dr. Chen's research interests include developing and validating novel molecular imaging probes (nanoparticles, antibodies, proteins, peptides, and small organic molecules) for better understanding of the biology, early diagnosis of disease, monitoring therapy response, and guiding drug discovery and development.
