Optical Coherence Tomography. Principles and Applications

  • Book

  • October 2006
  • Elsevier Science and Technology
  • ID: 1769033

Optical Coherence Tomography gives a broad treatment of the subject which will include 1)the optics, science, and physics needed to understand the technology 2) a description of applications with a critical look at how the technology will successfully address actual clinical need, and 3) a discussion of delivery of OCT to the patient, FDA approval and comparisons with available competing technologies.

The required mathematical rigor will be present where needed but be presented in such a way that it will not prevent non-scientists and non-engineers from gaining a basic understanding of OCT and the applications as well as the issues of bringing the technology to the market.

Please Note: This is an On Demand product, delivery may take up to 11 working days after payment has been received.
