Klappentext

Advanced, recent developments in biochips and medical imaging

Biochips and Medical Imaging is designed as a professional resource, covering recent biochip and medical imaging developments. Within the text, the authors encourage uniting aspects of engineering, biology, and medicine to facilitate advancements in the field of molecular diagnostics and imaging.

Biochips are microchips for efficiently screening biological analytes. This book aims at presenting information on the state-of-the-art and emerging biosensors, biochips, and imaging technologies. The book also provides some background of basic biology and human physiology in health and disease to provide biological and medical context for the biochips and medical imaging technologies reviewed in the book.

Medical diagnostics includes in-vitro diagnostics (biochips) and in-vivo imaging (medical and molecular imaging). Biochips and Medical Imaging explores the roles of in-vitro and in-vivo diagnostic technologies in biomedical research and healthcare. It enables an instructor to share in-depth examples of the use of biochips and imaging modalities in diagnosing cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

• Provides real-life knowledge on biochips and medical imaging, written by leading researchers
• Serves as a resource for professionals working in the biochip or imaging fields
• Features an accessible approach for anyone interested in biochips and their applications

Readers of Biochips and Medical Imaging can expand their knowledge of medical technology, even if they have no biological knowledge and a limited math background. With its focus on important developments, this book is sure to also capture the interest of bioengineering and biomaterials scientists, structural biologists, engineers, and nanotechnologists.
