Infos

Written by pioneers in the field, this first-of-its-kind resource on multimodal optical imaging provides a rigorous treatment of the various techniques together with the latest clinical advances in cancer detection and other important applications. You get full details on the principles, instrumentation, and methods of in-vivo microscopy, optical coherence tomography, endoscopy, and diffuse optical techniques. You learn how these tools can be integrated with other modalities to capture molecular, functional, and anatomical information with striking accuracy and unlock a world of potentially huge diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. A milestone work that will speed the field's transition from bench to bedside, the book discusses each of the optical imaging techniques in self-contained chapters before describing the integration of the techniques with other modalities like MRI, X-Ray imaging, and PET imaging. It provides a software platform for multimodal integration and includes cutting-edge computational and data processing techniques that ensure the most rapid, cost-effective, and precise quantification and characterization of the clinical data possible. The volume also covers advances in photodynamic therapy and molecular imaging, and reviews key clinical studies in optical imaging along with regulatory and business issues. Supported by 119 illustrations, this first-of-its-kind volume brings you completely up to speed with today's multimodal optical techniques and helps you to translate them into viable biomedical applications.
