Driven primarily by the widespread availability of various small-animal models of human diseases replicating accurately biological and biochemical processes in vivo, this is a relatively new yet rapidly expanding field that has excellent potential to become a powerful tool in biomedical research and drug development. In addition to being a powerful clinical tool, a number of imaging modalities including but not limited to CT, MRI, SPECT Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Online resource; title from resource home page (ebrary, viewed February 8, 2016) In Springer eBooks Subject Veterinary diagnostic imaging.
