Description

Optical Coherence Tomography, Principles and Applications, Second Edition

 provides the latest information on OCT, a high-resolution medical imaging technology that offers several distinct advantages over current medical imaging technologies.

The book contains the most comprehensive information needed by a wide variety of groups using and studying this technology. It is completely updated throughout with the most recent research and applications, providing a broad treatment of the subject, including its optics, science, and the physics needed to understand the technology, a description of applications with a critical look on how the technology will successfully address actual clinical needs, a discussion of delivery of OCT to the patient, and FDA approval and comparisons with available competing technologies.

The required mathematical rigor is presented in such a way that non-scientists and non-engineers alike will be able to gain a basic understanding of OCT and its further applications.
