Principles of Molecular Probe Design and Applications

This book describes insight mechanisms for designing molecular probes  and methods that these agents can be used for medical diagnosis in  preclinical animal models via optical, MRI and PET imaging. The book has  a wealth of schemes of synthesis and methods deduced from pioneers in  the field, making it possible to immerse into real-world molecular  imaging. Written for graduate student training and practitioners, this  book will serve as a teaching material and/or reference for anyone  interested in exploring the power of chemical synthesis of imaging  agents.
