      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive survey of the  pharmacokinetic models used for the quantitative  interpretation of contrast-enhanced imaging. It discusses  all the available imaging technologies and the problems  related to the calibration of the imaging system and  accuracy of the estimated physiological parameters.  Enhancing imaging modalities using contrast agents has  opened up new opportunities for going beyond morphological  information and enabling minimally invasive assessment of  tissue and organ functionality down to the molecular level.  In combination with mathematical modeling of the contrast  agent kinetics, contrast- enhanced imaging has the  potential to provide clinically valuable additional  information by estimating quantitative physiological  parameters. The book presents the broad spectrum of  diagnostic possibilities provided by quantitative  contrast-enhanced imaging, with a particular focus on  cardiology and oncology, as well as novel developments in  the area of quantitative molecular imaging along with their  potential clinical applications. Given the variety of  available techniques, the choice of the appropriate imaging  modality and the most suitable pharmacokinetic model is  often challenging. As such, the book provides a valuable  technical guide for researchers, clinical scientists, and  experts in the field who wish to better understand and  properly apply tracer-kinetic modeling for quantitative  contrast-enhanced imaging.},
