Provides the latest information on imaging technologies and transdermal delivery in skin disorders This important, timely book covers the latest understanding about today's major skin disorders, the development of imaging technologies for skin diagnosis, and the applications of micro/nano-technologies for the treatment of skin complications. It also places great emphasis on the critical role that interdisciplinary science occupies to achieve the requisite level of understanding of skin conditions and their management, which is essential to creating technologies that work. Imaging Technologies and Transdermal Delivery in Skin Disorders starts by outlining the structural characteristics of ski...
Photoacoustic imaging has become a premier biomedical imaging modality. 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 presentation of theory covers the mathematical derivations as well as the computational simulations. The coverage of implementation includes practical protocols to build both hardware and software systems; the photoacoustic imaging systems presented range from microscopy to tomography. The key technical challenges in terms of signal-to-noise ratios, spatial/temporal resolutions, contrasts, etc. are discu...
This entry-level textbook, covering the area of tissue optics, is based on the lecture notes for a graduate course (Bio-optical Imaging) that has been taught six times by the authors at Texas A&M University. After the fundamentals of photon transport in biological tissues are established, various optical imaging techniques for biological tissues are covered. The imaging modalities include ballistic imaging, quasi-ballistic imaging (optical coherence tomography), diffusion imaging, and ultrasound-aided hybrid imaging. The basic physics and engineering of each imaging technique are emphasized. A solutions manual is available for instructors; to obtain a copy please email the editorial department at ialine@wiley.com.
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Optical Methods in Sensing and Imaging for Medical and Biological Applications" that was published in Sensors
This Spotlight discusses photoacoustic imaging (PAI) techniques and highlights the importance of pulsed laser diodes (PLDs). The text introduces the basic principle, signal detection, and various implementations. Computed tomography systems and their instrumentation are also addressed. Other topics include alternative laser sources , high-pulse repetition rate, pulse duration, signal-to-noise ratio, and safety.
Drug therapy via inhalation route is at the cutting edge of modern drug delivery research. There has been significant progress on the understanding of drug therapy via inhalation products. However, there are still problems associated with their formulation design, including the interaction between the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) (APIs), excipients and devices. This book seeks to cover some of the most pertinent issues and challenges of such formulation design associated with industrial production and desirable clinical outcome. The chapter topics have been selected with a view to integrating the factors that require consideration in the selection and design of device and formulation ...
Frank discussions of opportunities and challenges point the way to new, more effective drug delivery systems Interest in nanomedicine has grown tremendously, fueled by the expectation that continued research will lead to the safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery of drugs or imaging agents to human tissues and organs. The field, however, has faced several challenges attempting to translate novel ideas into clinical benefits. With contributions from an international team of leading nanomedicine researchers, this book provides a practical assessment of the possibilities and the challenges of modern nanomedicine that will enable the development of clinically effective nanoparticulate drug...
