Given the multidisciplinary nature of the field, the book is broken into six different sections. Part 1 (Molecular Imaging Technologies) summarizes the different macro-, meso-, and microscopic imaging technologies currently available.

Part 2 (Chemistry of Molecular Imaging) is dedicated to reviewing chemical approaches to imaging probe designs for different types of imaging technologies. This section also contains chapters on the emerging field of nanomaterials, chemical biology, and probe design as well as signal amplification strategies.

Part 3 (Molecular Imaging in Cell and Molecular Biology) contains chapters dedicated to protein engineering, vectors, and pathways.

Part 4 (Applications of Molecular Imaging) summarizes the above advances in different clinical disease entities.

Part 5 (Molecular Imaging in Drug Evaluation) is dedicated to imaging in drug development.

Part 6 provides chapters on computation, bioinformatics, and modeling.

• The most authoritative and effective resource available in the field
  
• Concepts illustrated with figures and molecular-imaging examples
  
• First book to provide all the pieces for molecular imaging as a field including all the various modalities and biomedical applications
• First book to cover the chemistry of imaging agent development as well as all the imaging instrumentation strategies
