This timely book provides: -- Detailed coverage of the key elements required for the successful implementation of OCE techniques, particularly OCT imaging, mechanical deformation, and image processing -- Synthesis of theory, methodology, and applications in one resource -- Detailed discussion of the historical context within which OCE has evolved, particularly regarding ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance elastography -- Perspectives on likely future developments in OCE This book is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers in biophotonics and tissue engineering and for professionals working with OCT and elastography.SCIENCE / Life Sciences/BiophysicsbisacshSCIENCE / Physics/Optics & LightbisacshTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Materials Science/GeneralbisacshPrinted edition 9780735423640https://doi.org/10.1063/9780735423664
