Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most important
tools in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. The number
of MRI scanners operating around the world is estimated to be
approximately 20,000, and the development of contrast agents,
currently used in about a third of the 50 million clinical MRI
examinations performed every year, has largely contributed to this
significant achievement.
This completely revised and extended second edition: " "Includes
new chapters on targeted, responsive, PARACEST and nanoparticle MRI
contrast agents.Covers the basic chemistries, MR physics and the
most important techniques used by chemists in the characterization
of MRI agents from every angle from synthesis to safety
considerations.Is written for all of those involved in the
development and application of contrast agents in MRI.Presented in
colour, it provides readers with true representation and easy
interpretation of the images.
A word from the Authors:
"Twelve years after the first edition published, we are
convinced that the chemistry of MRI agents has a bright future. By
assembling all important information on the design principles and
functioning of magnetic resonance imaging probes, this book intends
to be a useful tool for both experts and newcomers in the field. We
hope that it helps inspire further work in order to create more
efficient and specific imaging probes that will allow materializing
the dream of seeing even deeper and better inside the living
organisms."
