Optical coherence tomography : principles and applications(光学相干层析X射线照相法：原理与应用)

发布日期:2008-07-08 浏览次

Product Description
This book gives a broad treatment of the subject which will include 1)the optics, science, and physics needed to understand the technology 2)a description of applications with a critical look at how the technology will successfully address actual clinical need, and 3) a discussion of delivery of OCT to the patient, FDA approval and comparisons with available competing technologies.
The required mathematical rigor will be present where needed but be presented in such a way that it will not prevent non-scientists and non-engineers from gaining a basic understanding of OCT and the applications as well as the issues of bringing the technology to the market.
* Optical Coherence Tomography is a new medical high-resolution imaging technology which offers distinct advantages over current medical imaging technologies and is attracting a large number of researchers.
* Provides non-scientists and non-engineers basic understanding of Optical Coherence Tomography applications and issues.

Prepared in a rush Nov 22, 2006 (0 of 1 found this helpful)
The book does contain a lot of useful information, but the amount of typos is frustrating. Every other equation used in this book contains errors. The equations often contain notations that are not defined anywhere in the book.
Some sections need cleaning - they contain miriad of equations which can be significantly simplified and their number reduced via a thoughtful layout strategy.

I am not new to OCT and I am considering this book as a reference source, but right now I believe the book is not yet ready to be a book. Perhaps later editions will be much better.
This is the bible reference in the field of OCT Dec 2, 2006
This is a tour de force by a pioneer in the field. The book has several features which make it an outstanding work, not the least of which is that almost all chapters are written by a single author. First, the book reviews applications and potential applications is great detail, allowing investigators in these areas to have a better appreciation of advantages and limitations. Second, chapters 12 and 14 focus on how to effectively perform hypothesis driven basic and clinical studies, ideal for those with a limited background in biomedical experimentation. Third, OCT theory is derived in considerable detail, illuminating assumptions and limitations of equations frequently used in the literature. This is particularly true of chapters 5, 7, and 8. Finally, basic underlying physics is introduced in early chapters for those new to the field. In summary, this represents on outstanding text covering essentially all major areas of OCT research and will likely be one of the most utilized works in the field for many years to come.
Very Helpful Dec 6, 2006
The book was very helpful. It covers information about OCT from both mathematical and physical aspects. The book starts out with a basic overview of the science of light and progresses into the more specific working of OCT technology. Almost every potential field where OCT would be used is covered. Section one is particularly good for physicians or anyone with only a biomedical background. I strongly recommend that engineers and physical scientists go through chapters 14 through 18, especially if they want to explore opportunities in an interdisciplinary field such as OCT.
An excellent resource for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of OCT Dec 7, 2006
OCT: Principles and Applications is a cohesive text written by an investigator who understands the field from Maxwell's equations to clinical practice. Readers with a solid electromagnetics background will appreciate the detailed derivations and thorough coverage of OCT theory in Section II, including speckle, noise, common and uncommon variants of OCT, and practical instrument considerations. A comprehensive but brief introduction to basic mathematics and electromagnetics is given in Section I, which serves as an good review for those rusty on basic principles. Readers without a technical background may have difficulty with the equations in Section I and II, fortunately enough descriptive text is provided to enable anyone to follow the substance of derivations. Section III provides valuable information to engineers and physicians alike regarding the advantages and limitations of OCT for a variety of important applications. Typographical errors are a minor distraction. Overall this is an excellent first text for anyone wishing to delve beyond a superficial understanding of OCT, and a strong compliment to other available books on clinical applications and instrumentation developments in OCT.
OCT Book Review Dec 5, 2006
The author has made outstanding contributions to the field of OCT through his conference presentations and journal publications and this book is another such contribution. This is the first book on OCT available written in a classical text book format covering a wide range of topics from the most basic engineering background material to advanced clinical topics. The book is written in a format that is suitable for someone new to the field, useful to those experienced in the field, and suitable as an adjunct for a university course. I highly recommend the book
