Medical Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine (Perspectives in Nanotechnology)

• 1st Edition
• by Harry F. Tibbals (Author)

Covers the use of nanotechnology in medical applications including imaging, diagnosis and monitoring, drug delivery systems, surgery, tissue regeneration, and prosthetics

Part of the Perspectives in Nanotechnology series―which contains broader coverage of the societal implications of nanotechnology―this book can be used as a standalone reference. Organized by historical perspective, current status, and future prospects, this powerful book:

• Explores background, definitions and terms, and recent trends and forces in nanomedicine
• Surveys the landscape of nanomedicine in government, academia, and the private sector
• Reviews projected future directions, capabilities, sustainability, and equity of nanomedicine, and choices to be made regarding its use
• Includes graphical illustrations, references, and keywords to reinforce concepts and aid further research

In its assessment of alternative and sometimes conflicting concepts proposed for the application of nanotechnology to medicine, this book surveys major initiatives and the work of leading labs and innovators. It uses informative examples and case summaries to illustrate proven accomplishments and imagined possibilities in research and development.
