Photoacoustics promises to revolutionize medical imaging and may well make
as dramatic a contribution to modern medicine as the discovery of the x-ray
itself once did. Combining electromagnetic and ultrasonic waves synergistically,
photoacoustics can provide deep speckle-free imaging with high electromagnetic
contrast at high ultrasonic resolution and without any health risk. While photoacoustic
imaging is probably the fastest growing biomedical imaging technology, this
book is the first comprehensive volume in this emerging field covering both
the physics and the remarkable noninvasive applications that are changing diagnostic
medicine.
Bringing together the leading pioneers in this field to write about their
own work, Photoacoustic Imaging and Spectroscopy is the first to provide a full
account of the latest research and developing applications in the area of biomedical
photoacoustics.
Photoacoustics can provide functional sensing of physiological parameters such
as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. It can also provide high-contrast functional
imaging of angiogenesis and hypermetabolism in tumors in vivo. Discussing these
remarkable noninvasive applications and so much more, this reference is essential
reading for all researchers in medical imaging and those clinicians working
at the cutting-edge of modern biotechnology to develop diagnostic techniques
that can save many lives and just as importantly do no harm.
