Overview

This is the first comprehensive book, which covers the major themes of the rapidly emerging field of advanced imaging in Biology and Medicine. The analysis of phenotypic information is increasing in importance in biological research. This is because the growth of information and the increasing use of sophisticated models for understanding complex biological systems is leading to an increased need to apply multifactorial models in which subtle phenotypic outcomes often need to be assessed to compare the effects of multiple genetic or pharmaceutical factors. Such applications will increasingly rely on multiple imaging modalities and will demand high throughput and standardized methods of data analysis. For this reason, a single volume that integrates the use of various imaging modalities with this perspective is timely and useful for a large segment of the biological community.

Reviews

<p>From the reviews: <p> This book presents an overall picture of newly introduced advanced imaging techniques in life sciences and medicine. The book is useful mainly for researchers and graduate students working in developing imaging technologies, imaging software designers, and users of tools for molecular imaging and genomic data handling. this book is a positive addition to the scientific literature. (Rao F. H. Khan, Doody s Review Service, April, 2009)<p> The purpose of this book is to provide a broad sampling of the rapidly expanding field of advanced imaging in medicine and biology. The book is aimed toward radiologists, medical physicists, scientists in the pharmacologic and biologic industries, and computer software and hardware specialists in this field. Some of the material presented would benefit dermatologists, ophthalmologists, pathologists, cardiologists, veterinarians, geneticists, and virtual reality developers. Trainees in all these specialties would also benefit
