The first unified text to introduce the preparation, characterization, and implementation of nanoscale technologies for use in medicine, Biomedical Nanotechnology provides students and researchers with a new toolkit for advancing traditional technology-based industries. The text examines technical descriptions of fundamental nanotechnologies, including the methods of synthesis and characterization of unique nano-sized features and specific considerations of their use within biological systems. Each area of focus (imaging, drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapeutics) explores the medical requirements of the field and how nanotechnologies are implemented under those guidelines to the advantage of patients and doctors.
