These two books cover the most significant recent advances in oncological molecular imaging, from methods and preclinical research to clinical practice. The first book is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on standardized and emerging technologies, as well as probe designs for various imaging modalities, including advanced X-ray imaging, CT, MRI, SPECT, total body PET, ultrasound, optical imaging, optoacoustic imaging, and probes for these modalities. The section also covers artificial intelligence in radiomics. The second section focuses on preclinical applications, including advanced microscopy in animal imaging. The second book presents various clinical applications of molecular imaging and related imaging features. The first section of the second book discusses the crucial, emerging role of molecular imaging in planning and monitoring oncological therapies and future challenges and prospects in multimodality imaging. The second section discusses radiotherapy appro

This fully updated, self-contained textbook covering modern optical microscopy equips students with a solid understanding of the theory underlying a range of advanced techniques. Two new chapters cover pump-probe techniques, and imaging in scattering media, and additional material throughout covers light-sheet microscopy, image scanning microscopy, and much more. An array of practical techniques are discussed, from classical phase contrast and confocal microscopy, to holographic, structured illumination, multi-photon, and coherent Raman microscopy, and optical coherence tomography. Fundamental topics are also covered, including Fourier optics, partial coherence, 3D imaging theory, statistical optics, and the physics of scattering and fluorescence. With a wealth of end-of-chapter problems, and a solutions manual for instructors available online, this is an invaluable book for electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and physics students taking graduate courses on optical microsco

Reporter genes have been used for several decades to study regulation of gene expression in vivo. However, it was little more than a decade ago that a new class of reporter genes was developed for imaging molecular events within living subjects. By following the interactions of protein molecules, researchers can resolve the complex chemical pathways that living cells utilise. This book focuses on this group of imaging reporter genes, starting with detailed descriptions of all reporter genes from different imaging modalities, including optical, MRI, and radionuclide-based imaging. Key scientists in the field explain how to enhance reporter gene imaging utility through instrumentation and the various applications of this technology. This is the first comprehensive book on all aspects of reporter gene imaging, detailing what is known in the field and future goals for research.
