	ESR Spectroscopy in Membrane Biophysics (Biological Magnetic Resonance) by Marcus A. Hemminga (Author), Lawrence J. Berliner (Author) Spectroscopic methods are not only important as an analytical tool, they also provide information about fundamental physical and chemical properties of molecules, the molecular and electronic structure, and the dynamic behaviour of molecules. Starting from a comprehensive quantum mechanical description, ESR Spectroscopy in Membrane Biophysics introduces the optical (IR, Raman, UV/Vis, CD, fluorescence and laser spectroscopy) and magnetic resonance (1D and 2D-NMR, ESR) techniques. ...
	Multi-slice and Dual-source CT in Cardiac Imaging: Principles - Protocols - Indications - Outlook by Bernd M. Ohnesorge (Author), Thomas G. Flohr (Author), Christoph R. Becker (Author), Andreas Knez (Author), Maximilian F. Reiser (Author) Cardiac diseases, and in particular coronary artery disease, are the leading cause of death and morbidity in industrialized countries. The development of non-invasive imaging techniques for the heart and the coronary arteries has been considered a key element in improving patient care. A breakthrough in cardiac imaging using CT occurred in 1998, with the introduction of multi-slice computed tomography (CT). Since then, amazing advances in performance have taken place with scanners that acquire...
