The last seven years have seen intensive growth in the research and development of tissue optics, particularly in the field of tissue diagnostics and imaging. To reflect the advances in these areas, the tutorial text Tissue Optics: Light Scattering Methods and Instruments for Medical Diagnosis has been extensively revised and expanded to create this detailed treatise of the field. Included are discussions on: Developments in light-scattering techniques for the quantitative evaluation of the optical properties of normal and pathological tissues and cell ensembles
New results from theoretical and experimental investigations into light transport in tissues
Methods for solving direct and inverse scattering problems for random media with multiple scattering and quasi-ordered media
Advances in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and polarization-sensitive technologies
Research in Raman and vibrational spectroscopies and multiphoton microscopy as applied to morphology and the functioning of living cells and tissues.
Two substantial glossaries and more than 1,000 references make this second edition a unique and valuable contribution to the literature on biomedical optics.
