Targeted Molecular Imaging covers the development of novel diagnostic approaches that use an imaging probe and agent to noninvasively visualize cellular processes in normal and disease states. It discusses the concept, development, preclinical studies, and, in many cases, translation to the clinic of targeted imaging agents.





The many case studies that form the core of this book deal with the development and translation of non-nuclear probes and radiotracers; other sections address critical topics such as In vitro studies, small animal research, and the application of targeted probes for nuclear, optical and MRI imaging. The chapters use a common format to demonstrate how various investigators approach the comprehensive task of validating a new targeted probe.



Targeted Molecular Imaging is a timely resource for a rapidly advancing field, and addresses:







  • Various methods of validating a new targeted probe through examples from human studies with imaging of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases


  • Basic principles, disease models, imaging studies in animals, imaging in initial human studies, and the application of molecular imaging in pharmacy and drug discovery


  • In vitro studies, small animal studies, and targeted radiopharmaceuticals






Using these case studies, investigators can generalize and apply the information to their own specific targeted probe. The insights provided by the contributors, experts who have developed these approaches in their own groups, help guide scientists planning to translate imaging agents from the concept stage to clinical application.

Industry Reviews

"... a timely resource for a rapidly advancing field, giving a comprehensive account of the state of the art in disease modelling, imaging studies in animals, imaging in initial human studies, and the application of molecular imaging in pharmacy and drug discovery. ... a helpful tool for all readers involved with targeted molecular imaging, medical chemistry, pharmacology, radiology, and medical physics. It would also be a valuable text for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty members who are becoming involved in this rapidly expanding field ... edited by two masters in the field."
-Luigi Mansi and Davide d'Arienzo, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 40, 2013

"... this book is a must for new investigators in the field. Even seasoned investigators are strongly encouraged to consult sections of the book often in order to insure their own studies are complete. Especially important is the interdisciplinary approach utilized in the case studies. This book could also be a valuable resource in graduate classes or as a basis for a continuing education class. The book was written with foresight, such that it can be considered a timeless addition to anyone's collection. Many, many costly pitfalls can be avoided through thoughtful review of the information contained within this reference."
-Susan Z. Lever, Journal of Labelled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals, 2012

"This text successfully fulfills its goal by introducing the concepts of molecular imaging agent development and then providing a diverse set of examples of targeted agents. ... The strength of this book is its emphasis of case studies that are representative of the various types of translational studies that can be performed using molecular imaging."
-Michael T. Munley, Medical Physics, August 2012
