"This
textbook is a valuable
reference for anyone
interested in the field of
light propagation in tissues
and biomedical imaging
applications. Elegantly
written, it nicely fills the
gap between theory and
practical issues. Highly
recommended to students or
established researchers, who
are eager for a basic
understanding of light
transport models and their use
in quantitative imaging in
biology and medicine."
-- Pr Rémi CARMINATI, Institut
Langevin, ESPCI ParisTech, France
The main idea behind this book
is to present a rigorous
derivation of the equations that
govern light propagation in highly
scattering media, with an emphasis
on their applications in imaging
in biology and medicine. The
equations and formulas for diffuse
light propagation are derived from
the very beginning, and all the
necessary analytical expressions
needed to complete a complex
imaging or characterization
problem are presented step by
step.
This book provides postgraduate
and PhD students with the basic
framework and sufficient knowledge
in light transport and the related
mathematical methods to solve most
complex problems that may appear
in biomedical applications
involving multiple scattered
light. All results presented are
formal analytical derivations from
the complete problem, presenting,
in those cases which are relevant,
approximations to these
expressions.
