Optical Coherence Tomography
Principles and Applications

The most comprehensive guide to applications and market issues related to this important high-resolution imaging technology.

Mark E. Brezinski (Author)

9780121335700, Elsevier Science

Hardback, published 11 October 2006

632 pages, Approx. 200 illustrations
23.4 x 19 x 3.4 cm, 1.46 kg

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.
