Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering Ser.: Stem Cell Labeling for Delivery and Tracking Using Noninvasive Imaging by Joseph Wu (2011, Hardcover)
A comprehensive overview of cell therapy imaging, this book emphasizes the use of medical imaging for therapeutic delivery/targeting, cell tracking, and determining therapeutic efficacy. It presents background information and insight on the major classes of stem and progenitor cells and describes the main imaging modalities and state-of-the-art techniques currently employed for stem cell tracking. The book also offers clinical perspectives on existing and potential uses of stem cells as well as the impact of image-guided delivery and tracking in major organ systems.
