Biomedical Photonics Handbook

Therapeutics and Advanced Biophotonics
Herausgeber: Vo-Dinh, Tuan

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Biomedical photonics is defined as the science of harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy to address problems in medicine and biology. The field has experienced explosive growth due to the non-invasive or minimally invasive nature and cost effectiveness of photonic modalities in medical diagnostics and therapy. This second edition is an authoritative resource that examines the potential of photonics in medicine; the third volume focuses on therapeutic and future trends.
