From the reviews: "The book is divided into 4 parts and 28 presentations, with multiple authors for each presentation, and an introductory overview by the editors on advances in molecular imaging. ... This book is intended for researchers involved in molecular imaging or drug development and clinicians who treat patients with or without cancer. The material will be useful to individuals familiar with this discipline and those who are new to this discipline and will likely be involved with personalized medical care."
