Over the prior decade, fluorine (¹⁹F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered major clinical curiosity within the biomedical examine neighborhood because of the original homes of fluorinated fabrics and the ¹⁹F nucleus. Fluorine has an intrinsically delicate nucleus for MRI. there's negligible endogenous ¹⁹F within the physique and hence there's no heritage sign. Fluorine-containing compounds are excellent tracer labels for a large choice of MRI functions. furthermore, the chemical shift and nuclear leisure fee will be made conscious of body structure through artistic molecular layout.

This ebook is an interdisciplinary compendium that info state-of-the-art technological know-how and scientific study within the rising box of ¹⁹F MRI. Edited by means of Ulrich Flögel and Eric Ahrens, favourite MRI researchers, this publication will entice investigators all for MRI, biomedicine, immunology, pharmacology, probe chemistry, and imaging physics.
