Imaging in Stem Cell Transplant and Cell-based Therapy

Abstract

The book is organized in two main sections. Section 1 provides overview of stem cell indications and techniques in adult and pediatric population with review of molecular imaging techniques and shall discuss role of newer applications like use of nanotechnology in stem cell transplant. Section 2 is devoted to review common applications in stem cell and cell-based therapies. Overall, the objective is to provide a unique resource, focusing on imaging in stem cell and cell-based therapies with review of stem cell therapy applications and to provide simplified explanation of technical concepts and terminology. The text is written from a clinician’s perspective that will help the average physician to keep abreast with stem cell research and encourage him/her to adopt this technology.
