This textbook is a practical guide to the use of small animal imaging in
preclinical research that will assist in the choice of imaging modality and
contrast agent and in study design, experimental setup, and data evaluation. All
established imaging modalities are discussed in detail, with the assistance of
numerous informative illustrations. While the focus of the new edition remains
on practical basics, it has been updated to encompass a variety of emerging
imaging modalities, methods, and applications. Additional useful hints are also
supplied on the installation of a small animal unit, study planning, animal
handling, and cost-effective performance of small animal imaging.
