Targeted Delivery of Imaging Probes for In Vivo Cellular Imaging
Published Thursday, May 29, 2014Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging is a technique for studying molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons, such as organic and inorganic free radicals or complexes with a transition metal ion. EPR may be thought of as analogous to MRI, except that it measures the excitation of electron spins instead of atomic nuclei. Given...
