Essential light scattering theories, techniques, and practices
Extend tissue characterization and analysis capabilities using cutting-edge biophotonics tools and technologies. This comprehensive resource details the principles, devices, and procedures necessary to fully employ light scattering in clinical and diagnostic applications.
Biomedical Applications of Light Scattering explains how to work with biological scatterers and scattering codes, accurately model tissues and cells, build time-domain simulations, and resolve inverse scattering issues. Noninvasive biopsy procedures, precancer and disease screening methods, and fiber optic probe design techniques are also covered in this detailed volume.
Analyze light scattering spectra from complex and continuous media
Build high-resolution cellular models using FDTD and PSTD methods
Work with confocal microscopic imaging and diffuse optical tomography
Measure blood flow using laser Doppler, LSCI, and photon correlation
Perform noninvasive optical biopsies using elastic scattering techniques
Assess bulk tissue properties using differential pathlength spectroscopy
Detect precancerous lesions using angle-resolved low-coherence interferometry
Risk-stratify patients for colonoscopies using enhanced backscattering methods
