This books brings together multi-disciplinary expertise to provide comprehensive information
about molecular imaging of infectious diseases. Also described are the development of new
imaging technologies for infectious disease and their translation to the clinic.The overall
goal of Imaging Infections: From Bench to Bedside is to spur interest and innovation in this
emerging field. We anticipate that these technologies will not only allow unique insights into
understanding pathogenesis of infections but also expedite bench-to-bedside translation of new
therapeutics. While molecular imaging is already in common use in the clinic this book
demonstrates how it could also become a valuable tool for clinical studies patient care
public health and for enabling precision medicine for infectious diseases.
