Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
With the emergence of genetically manipulated laboratory mice as one of the most powerful tools for neuroscientists, imaging techniques capable of providing anatomical and functional information of small animals have become extremely important. Emphasizing data analysis and interpretation, Biomedical Imaging in Experimental Neuroscience presents a comprehensive review of the noninvasive biomedical imaging techniques available for laboratory animal research. It covers the scope and limitations of these methods and analyzes their impact on in vivo neuroscience research. The book also provides a concise theoretical description of the pertinent physics.
MoreLong description:
Recent years have seen an explosion of activity in the field of biomedical imaging in an attempt to understand the behavior of the brain in healthy and disease states. With the emergence of genetically manipulated laboratory mice and the knowledge of the mouse genome, we are entering an exciting new era with revolutionary tools for experimental research. Noninvasive imaging techniques capable of providing both anatomical and functional descriptions of the brain have become essential. Among the various imaging methodologies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stands in the forefront by virtue of its contrast versatility and pathophysiological specificity.
Emphasizing the relationship between physiological microenvironment and macroscopic imaging signal changes, Biomedical Imaging in Experimental Neuroscience presents a comprehensive review of the noninvasive biomedical imaging techniques available for laboratory animal research. Focusing on MRI, but recognizing the multiple forms of imaging information, this book outlines the scope and limitations of these methods and analyzes their impact on in vivo neuroscience research. The book is intended for the biologist who may not have a background in the physical sciences. This applied guide also provides a concise theoretical description of the pertinent physics.
Noninvasive imaging offers the obvious benefits of reducing sample sizes and identifying new and unanticipated behaviors. Biomedical Imaging in Experimental Neuroscience presents detailed information for biologists interested in how biomedical imaging may augment their in vivo research and for clinical practitioners seeking deeper insights into the association between imaging findings and disease pathophysiology.
"…a comprehensive and compelling presentation of the experience and insights of respected experts in the arena of the rapidly evolving neuroimaging techniques and touches on the latest multidisciplinary advances in neuroscience research. … The chapters contributed in this book are written by the absolute best in the field of experimental neuroimaging and cover both modern computational techniques and theoretical considerations but also detail cutting edge methodology, applications, and important "how to's" and imaging protocol details. … highly recommended for not only the student interested in the dynamic changes underway of experimental MRI and molecular imaging but also for the expert already in the field. … Simply put, there is no recent book that covers this highly dynamic field of biomedical imaging in experimental neuroscience with greater depth and insight. It distills the vast amounts of current literature into a highly readable reference that should serve as an ideal introduction to experimental MR, as well as provide the ideal potential textbook to the existing state-of-the-art in MRI and molecular imaging."
