PHYS 354: Medical Physics Principles: Biomedical Optics

This book presents recent and important developments in the field of Photonics and Optoelectronics, with a particular focus on Laser Technology, Optical Communications, Optoelectronic Devices and Image Processing.

Introduces the physical principles of next-generation biomedical imaging methods based on coherent optical devices.

This comprehensive handbook gives a fully updated guide to lasers and laser technologies, including the complete range of their technical applications. This forth volume covers laser applications in the medical, metrology and communications fields.

This compilation focuses on varied aspects of laser (photobiomodulation, PBM) therapy ranging from types of lasers, parameters of optical radiation determining its biological activity and therapeutic action, basic and modern techniques, mitochondrial effects of laser for therapeutics to the clinical use of PBM in treating various medical conditions and its use in surgery.

This book summarizes the latest advances in nanophotonics for biomedical applications, including biomolecular sensing and imaging, additive fabrications, and biophotonics.

Presents a new diagnostic approach that utilizes complex statistical, correlation, fractal, and singular analysis of spatial distribution of the Stokes vector of scattered polarized light.

VOL 2: Advanced Laparoscopy and Endoscopy covers more advanced procedures, generally taught during fellowship.

The second edition of this atlas has been extensively revised to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy for upper and lower gastrointestinal diseases.

The book presents the proceedings of four conferences: The 24th International Conference on Image Processing, Computer Vision, & Pattern Recognition (IPCV'20), The 6th International Conference on Health Informatics and Medical Systems (HIMS'20), The 21st International Conference on Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (BIOCOMP'20), and The 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (BIOENG'20).

Presents not only the basics of nanophotonics but also explores recent experimental and clinical methods used in biomedical and bioengineering.
