Product Description

This is the first comprehensive book, which covers the major themes of the rapidly emerging field of advanced imaging in Biology and Medicine. The analysis of phenotypic information is increasing in importance in biological research. This is because the growth of information and the increasing use of sophisticated models for understanding complex biological systems is leading to an increased need to apply multifactorial models in which subtle phenotypic outcomes often need to be assessed to compare the effects of multiple genetic or pharmaceutical factors. Such applications will increasingly rely on multiple imaging modalities and will demand high throughput and standardized methods of data analysis. For this reason, a single volume that integrates the use of various imaging modalities with this perspective is timely and useful for a large segment of the biological community.
