New Study 'Biomedical Optics: Principles and Imaging' Establishes the Fundamentals of Photon Transport in Biological Tissues as Well as Covering Various Optical Imaging Techniques for Biological Tissues.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c57766) has announced the addition of "Biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. Optics: Principles and Imaging" to their offering. This entry-level textbook, covering the area of tissue optics, is based on the lecture notes for a graduate course (Bio-optical Imaging) that has been taught six times by the authors at Texas A&M University. After the fundamentals of photon transport in biological tissues are established, various optical imaging techniques for biological tissues will be covered. The imaging modalities will include ballistic imaging, quasi-ballistic imaging (optical coherence tomography Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric, non-invasive optical tomographic imaging technique offering millimeter penetration (approximately 2-3 mm in tissue) with micrometer-scale axial and lateral resolution. ), diffusion imaging, and ultrasound-aided hybrid imaging. The basic physics and engineering of each imaging technique will be emphasized. About the Author: Lihong V. Wang, PhD, is Gene K.
