The Chemistry of Contrast Agents in Medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most importanttools in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. Thiscompletely revised and extended second edition is presented incolor and includes new chapters on targeted, responsive, PARACESTand nanoparticle MRI contrast agents. It covers the basicchemistries, MR physics and most important techniques used bychemists in the characterization of MRI agents from every angle,from synthesis to safety considerations. Essential readingfor professionals involved in the development and application ofcontrast agents in MRI.
