Photoacoustic Imaging and Spectroscopy

While photoacoustic imaging is probably the fastest growing biomedical imaging technology, this is the first comprehensive volume in this emerging field to cover both the physics and the noninvasive applications that are changing diagnostic medicine. Photoacoustic Imaging and Spectroscopy examines the state of the art in this exciting area of research, offering complete coverage of photoacoustic, optoacoustic, and thermoacoustic imaging. Featuring 200 illustrations, this volume illustrates the superiority of photoacoustic images over x-ray and ultrasonic images. It also discusses all potential applications of photoacoustic technology, including biomedical applications.
