Medical Retina: Focus on Retinal Imaging (Book)
Explore Article Springer US (Mar 20 2010)
The 8 recurring volumes of the "Essentials in Ophthalmology" series cover the most recent developments in one of eight subspecialties in Ophthalmology. With four volumes published per year, each subspecialty is newly visited every 24 months, with a distinct focus on recent developments. By bridging the gap between original research and medical textbooks, the transfer of this developing knowledge into daily practice is greatly enhanced. This volume focuses on retinal imaging, a quickly evolving field with numerous advances like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

Gastric Cancer (Book)
Explore Article Cambridge University Press (Dec 15 2009)
Gastric adenocarcinoma is the second most common cancer worldwide. It is usually diagnosed at a late stage and prognosis is poor; even with modern diagnostic and treatment methods the 5-year survival is only 10%. Improvements in overall patient survival can only be achieved by earlier diagnosis and by tailored therapeutic strategies based on tumor type, location and stage at presentation. This volume provides a state-of-the-art, integrated diagnostic and therapeutic approach to patient management. The role of the upper GI series, endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, MDCT, MRI, and PET/CT in the diagnosis, staging and follow-up of patients with gastric cancer is emphasized. ...

The Supercontinuum Laser Source: Fundamentals with Updated References (Book)
Explore Article Springer US (Jun 27 2009)
Photonics and nonlinear optics are important areas of science, engineering and technology. One of the most important ultrafast nonlinear optical processes is the supercontinuum (SC) – the production of intense white light pulses covering: uv, visible, NIR, MIR, and IR. It is produced using ultrashort laser pulses (ps/fs) to produce the ultrabroad band of frequencies. This book covers the fundamental principles and surveys research of current thinkers and experts in the field with updated references of the key breakthroughs over the past decade and a half. The application of SC are time-resolved pump-SC probe absorption and excitation spectroscopy for chemistry, ...

Principles of Light-Skin Interactions (Book Chapter)
Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Jun 12 2009)
Skin is the largest human organ. It covers between 1.5 and 2 m^2, comprising about one-sixth of total body weight. Skin performs a complex role in human physiology. It serves as a barrier to the environment and acts as a channel for communication to the outside world. For example, skin protects us from water loss, ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, friction, and impact wounds. It also helps in regulating body temperature and metabolism. All photobiological responses are influenced heavily by the optical properties of skin. Therefore, for the successful development of photomedicine, in-depth knowledge and understanding of light-skin interactions, ...

Optical Coherence Tomography in Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Book)
Explore Article Springer US (Jun 4 2009)
Rapid or even dramatic progress has been made in the field of AMD over recent years, leading to a constant revision of basic concepts. A wide range of fundus imaging modalities are now available, and this book explains the respective value of each technique. The information provided by OCT is presented logically by comparison with plain films, autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, or indocyanine green angiography. Meticulous biomicroscopic examination of macular changes and the essential value of fluorescein angiography for the detection of anatomical alterations of the macula and for precise evaluation of lesions and their course by indocyanine green angiography have ...

Biomedical Optical Imaging (Book)
Explore Article Oxford University Press (Apr 9 2009)
Biomedical optical imaging is a rapidly emerging research area with widespread fundamental research and clinical applications. This book gives an overview of biomedical optical imaging with contributions from leading international research groups who have pioneered many of these techniques and applications. A unique research field spanning the microscopic to the macroscopic, biomedical optical imaging allows both structural and functional imaging. Techniques such as confocal and multiphoton microscopy provide cellular level resolution imaging in biological systems. The integration of this technology with exogenous chromophores can selectively enhance contrast for molecular targets as well as supply functional information on processes such as ...

Optical Coherence Tomography: Technique and Applications (Book Chapter)
Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Dec 3 2008)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging modality providing real-time video rate images in two and three dimensions of biological tissues with micrometer resolution. OCT fills the gap between ultrasound and confocal microscopy, since it has a higher resolution than ultrasound and a higher penetration than confocal microcopy. Functional extensions are also possible, i.e., flow, birefringence or spectroscopic measurements with high spatial resolution. In ophthalmology, OCT is accepted as a clinical standard for diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of a number of retinal diseases. The potential of OCT in many other applications is currently being explored, such as ...

Nanoparticles for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy (Book Chapter)
Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Nov 18 2008)
Nanotechnology enables unique approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Over the last two decades, a large number of nanoparticle-based cancer diagnostics and therapeutics have been developed. These include superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles. While some of the liposomal and polymer-based therapeutic nanoparticles have advanced to clinical applications, a greater number of remaining nanoparticles platforms are currently in the preclinical stages of development. They have relatively incomplete toxicity profiles at this time. In this chapter, we will review the available preclinical and clinical toxicity data of a variety of nanoparticle platforms.

Optical Coherence Tomography: Technology & Applications (Book)
Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Oct 10 2008)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the optical analog of ultrasound imaging and is emerging as a powerful imaging technique that enables non-invasive, in vivo, high resolution, cross-sectional imaging in biological tissue. A new generation OCT technology has now been developed, representing a quantum leap in resolution and speed, achieving in vivo optical biopsy, i.e. the visualization of tissue architectural morphology in situ and in real time. Functional extensions of OCT technology enable non-invasive, depth resolved functional assessment and imaging of tissue. These new techniques should not only improve image contrast, but should also enable the differentiation of pathologies via metabolic ...
