PROJECT TITLE :

Photoacoustic Tomography

ABSTRACT:

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) represents a hybrid, nonionizing modality, that has been of particular interest as a result of of its satisfactory spatial resolution and high soft-tissue distinction. PAI has the potential to produce each practical and molecular imaging in vivo since optical absorption is sensitive to physiological parameters. The field has experienced tremendous growth over the last decade and therefore this book is a timely effort to introduce readers to recent developments. The author comprehensively examines the Principles and Fundamentals of PA with a explicit emphasis on image reconstruction, instrumentation, mathematics and some level of animal applications and probe design. The book is comprised of eight chapters, bibliographic information and index to systematically discuss mainly the works done by the author and his collaborators during this field.
