Photoacoustic Imaging: Theory, Implementation and Applications is the first textbook on photoacoustic imaging, covering fundamental theory, practical implementation of protocols, and preclinical/clinical applications. The book covers mathematical derivations as well as computational simulations, and includes practical protocols to build hardware and software systems. Photoacoustic imaging systems ranging from microscopy to tomography are presented, along with key technical challenges of signal-to-noise ratios, spatial/temporal resolutions, and contrasts. The book demonstrates preclinical and clinical applications of photoacoustic imaging, providing theoretical and practical perspectives, thereby making it highly suitable for senior undergraduates, graduates, and PhD students in a range of engineering fields.
This illustrated colour review covers all aspects of neurology and neurosurgery including: dystonia, tremor, akinetic rigid syndrome (Parkinsonian conditions), infectious diseases, headache, brain tumors, demyelinating disease, epilepsy, neuro-ophthalmology, peripheral neuropathy, clinical neurophysiology, pituitary, coma, neurogenetics, surgical technique, hydrocephalus, AVM/aneurysm, pain and trigeminal neuralgia, head injury, spinal injury, stroke and neuroradiology.The editors and contributing authors all specialise in neurology and/or neurosurgery. The book is aimed at professionals in practice and in training, from hospital based doctors preparing for higher qualifications to established physicians in their continuing professional development. The cases are presented randomly, as in real life and, where appropriate, are superbly illustrated.
