Biomedical Imaging (Electronic book text)

The development of imaging techniques is of great importance for the diagnosis of disease, monitoring of medical implants and for strategies for personalised medicine. Significant advances are being made in this technology and Biomedical imaging discusses the technologies and latest developments in this increasingly important field.
Chapters in part one explore the full scale of imaging technologies from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to Positron Emission Tomography (PET), as well as the Next Generation techniques that could provide the basis for personalised medicine. Part two highlights application specific biomedical imaging methods, including ophthalmic imaging of ocular circulation, imaging methods for detection of joint degeneration, neural brain activation imaging and the use of brain imaging to assess post therapy responses. Further chapters review intravascular, cardiovascular and whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Biomedical imaging is a technical resource for those concerned with imaging and diagnosis including materials scientists and engineers as well as clinicians and academics.
