Developed from a SPIE course he has been teaching since 2008, Liang presents a reference book for students, researchers, and engineers in biomedical fields. He explains such fundamentals of biomedical optics as interaction between light and tissue and the effect of tissue on optical systems, optical component specification and selection, light sources, detectors, various optical systems, and specific requirements for biomedical imaging, among other topics. Readers will learn how to design and model illumination and imaging systems for biomedical applications. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
