Springer Biological Magnetic Resonance: In Vivo Carbon-13 NMR: 15

This volume constitutes a compilation of the latest experiments and theories on a rapidly evolving and maturing field in MRI/MRS, which is the use of the stable isotope 13-C. The 13-C is used to probe the chemistry, mechanism, and function in living systems. All the chapters are written by experts in the field who discuss topics such as `Tracer Theory and the Suitability of 13-C NMR', `Applications of 13-C to Studies of Human Brain Metabolism', etc. Review `An excellent collection of review articles ... A significant compilation of the theoretical basis of emerging technologies and a summary of their successes. ' Journal of the American Chemical Society `The reviews presented are diverse in nature ... continue to provide fresh analysis of the latest science ... succeed in being comprehensive in the subject areas.
