ABSTRACT
This book is designed with this new generation of interdisciplinary biomedical scientists in mind and is aimed at providing both an introductory text for those starting to explore or apply imaging techniques as well as a reference text to dip into, as needed, for the more advanced students and practitioners. The book is targeted at those using imaging in biomedical research rather than clinical practice. This distinguishes the book from the many outstanding texts on clinical medical imaging, as the range of techniques and applications used in research is far broader, and there also tends to be a stronger emphasis on quantification. Nonetheless, we hope the text will also be of interest to clinical practitioners. It is likely that some of today’s research imaging methods foreshadow future clinical uses of imaging.
