Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging

Based on a groundbreaking NIH symposium sponsored by the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, this source will stand as the first all-inclusive guide to the targeted molecular imaging of the cardiovascular system. With color throughout, and packaged with a user-friendly CD-ROM, this source will cover new methods for the analysis and management of cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and probe new technologies to analyze cardiovascular receptors, reporter probes and gene expression, vascular structures, and biological processes that affect the heart and associated vessels.
