Preface
Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS, also known as mass spectrometry imaging) is a technique to visualize the spatial distribution of, e.g., compounds, biomarkers, metabolites, peptides, or proteins by their molecular masses. Recently, research groups around the world have developed IMS, and pharmaceutical companies have started using IMS technology for purposes such as drug ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion) analyses to study pharmacokinetics and the medical properties of drugs. This use of IMS technology will continue to expand in the areas of drug research and disease-related biomarker screening. Consequently, the number of researchers interested in the practical use of IMS is increasing both in academic and in industrial fields. Under these circumstances, there is a real need for practical knowledge and techniques for the application of IMS. This book is intended for beginners as well as for researchers who have relatively little experience in the field. Detailed practical protocols are covered, so readers will immediately be able to perform IMS. We hope this book lays the groundwork for future progress in IMS technique and ultimately makes a contribution to progress in human health. Mitsutoshi Setou
