Medical Applications of Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry is fast becoming an indispensable field for medical professionals. The mass spectrometric analysis of medical and clinical diagnostics. As a technology, students and practitioners should take advantage of their capabilities.
Medical Applications of Mass Spectrometry addresses the key issues. It will take a long way to help the mass spectrometry in medicine.

The book comprises five parts. General analysis and separation methods in analytical chemistry. In the second part a solid foundation in mass spectrometry. The third part explains how mass spectrometry is used in exploring various classes of biomolecules, including proteins and lipids. In the fourth section of the mass spectrometry is the diagnostic tool, cancer, brain and allergy research, as well as the diagnostic tool, as well as the diagnostic tools, cardiology, pulmonology, neurology, psychiatric diseases, hemato- oncology, urologic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, gynecology and pediatrics. The fifth part covers emerging applications in biomarker discovery and in mass spectrometric imaging.
