Reviews
This text successfully fulfills its goal by introducing the concepts of molecular imaging agent development and then providing a diverse set of examples of targeted agents. ... The strength of this book is its emphasis of case studies that are representative of the various types of translational studies that can be performed using molecular imaging. -Michael T. Munley, Medical Physics, August 2012
