Biomedical optics : [Book] principles and imaging / Lihong V. Wang, Hsin-i Wu.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Rayleigh theory and Mie theory for a single scatterer -- Monte Carlo modeling of photon transport in biological tissue -- Convolution for broadbeam responses -- Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory -- Hybrid model of Monte Carlo method and diffusion theory -- Sensing of optical properties and spectroscopy -- Ballistic imaging and microscopy -- Optical coherence tomography -- Mueller optical coherence tomography -- Diffuse optical tomography -- Photoacoustic tomography -- Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography.

This entry-level textbook, covering the area of tissue optics, is based on the lecture notes for a graduate course (Bio-optical Imaging) that has been taught six times by the authors at Texas A&M University. After the fundamentals of photon transport in biological tissues are established, various optical imaging techniques for biological tissues are covered. The imaging modalities include ballistic imaging, quasi-ballistic imaging (optical coherence tomography), diffusion imaging, and ultrasound-aided hybrid imaging. The basic physics and engineering of each imaging technique are emphasized.
