Introduction to biomedical imaging -- Properties and possible application areas -- Synthesis and surface modification -- Characterization -- MRI, CT, FI, and multi-modal imaging and images -- A simple model calculation of water proton relaxivities -- Thermal neutron capture therapy (NCT) -- Perspectives and challenges.
Summary
Most books discuss general and broad topics regarding molecular imagings. However, Ultrasmall Lanthanide Oxide Nanoparticles for Biomedical Imaging and Therapy, will mainly focus on lanthanide oxide nanoparticles for molecular imaging and therapeutics. Multi-modal imaging capabilities will discussed, along with up-converting FI by using lanthanide oxide nanoparticles. The synthesis will cover polyol synthesis of lanthanide oxide nanoparticles, Surface coatings with biocompatible and hydrophilic ligands will be discussed and TEM images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) patterns will be provid.
