In vivo MR techniques in drug discovery and development [electronic resource] / edited by Nicolau Beckmann.

Imaging technologies are receiving much attention in the pharmaceutical industry because of their potential for accelerating drug discovery and development. Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging is one of the principal modalities since it allows anatomical, functional, metabolic, and to a certain extent e...
