1. The Supercontinuum Laser Source: Fundamentals with Updated References (Book)

   Explore Article Springer US (Jun 27 2009) Broadband Sources , Textbooks

   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, ... (Read Full Article)

2. Optical Coherence Tomography in Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Book)

   Explore Article Springer US (Jun 4 2009) Ophthalmology , Textbooks

   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 ...

   Explore Article Springer US (Feb 13 2009) Endoscopy , Textbooks

   Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has become indispensable in both diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders. It has been 10 years now since the first Endoscopy Forum Japan was held, and in that time, leading young endoscopists, including colleagues from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States, have participated in the forum, discussing issues at the forefront of the field. Through their efforts, GI endoscopy has advanced with many new methods for both diagnoses and treatments, and those achievements are included in this book. Contributing to the development of endoscopic medicine all over the world, this is a groundbreaking, edifying, and engrossing ... (Read Full Article)

   Prostate cancer is now the primary malignancy in men, while bladder and renal cancer are not far behind. This hugely important book details significant changes in imaging in oncological conditions related to the bladder, prostate and kidneys. The focus is on oncology in urology, mainly Ultrasound and MRI, with organ-oriented topics. The latest technologies on imaging are included to better identify carcinomatous lesions and lymph node metastases. Each chapter includes a section that outlines the optimal imaging approach, providing an algorithm for imaging per disease entity, and according to the evidence-based chronological and diagnostic follow-up. What makes this book so ... (Read Full Article)

5. Retinal Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography (Book)

   Explore Article Springer US (Aug 30 2008) Ophthalmology , Textbooks

   This new technology is expanding in daily practice. These expert authors are the ideal resource for clinicians seeking practical "how-to" information. Written for: Retina and glaucoma specialists and fellows, general ophthalmologists and residents in training. OCT is a relatively new imaging technique that is becoming increasingly popular among ophthalmologists in both private and academic settings. Imaging has been a slow moving area in ophthalmology for some time, but now OCT is providing another, more detailed source of demonstrable change in the eye, in diagnostic, therapeutic or post-surgical setting. (OCT and ultrasound both measure advancing disease states and post surgical healing. ... (Read Full Article)

6. Coherent-Domain Optical Methods: Biomedical Diagnostics, Environment and Material Science (Book)

   Explore Article Springer US (Oct 15 2004) Textbooks

   For the first time in one set of books, coherent-domain optical methods are discussed in the framework of various applications, which are characterized by a strong light scattering. A few chapters describe basic research containing the updated results on coherent and polarized light non-destructive interactions with a scattering medium, in particular, diffraction, interference, and speckle formation at multiple scattering. These chapters allow for understanding coherent-domain diagnostic techniques presented in later chapters. A large portion of Volume I is dedicated to analysis of various aspects of optical coherence tomography (OCT) - a very new and growing field of coherent optics. Two ... (Read Full Article)
