The present book provides recent developments in various in vivo imaging and sensing techniques such as photo acoustics (PA) imaging and microscopy, ultrasound-PA combined modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and micro OCT, Raman and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) techniques and nanoparticle enabled endoscopy etc. There is also a contributing chapter from leading medical instrumentation company on their view of optical imaging techniques in clinical laparoscopic surgery. The UN proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, emphasizing achievements in the optical sciences and their importance to human beings. In this context, this book focusses on the recent advances in biophotonics techniques primarily focused towards translational medicine contributed by thought leaders who have made cutting edge developments in various photonics techniques.

Edited by some of the most experienced authors in the field, Biomedical Imaging provides comprehensive coverage on medical and biological imaging. Original research and critical reviews on software and hardware technologies for medical and biological imaging tasks are presented in the book, along with data processing in all imaging modalities for molecular, cellular, anatomical and functional imaging. Research topics include image acquisition, registration, reconstruction, multimodality methods, noise filtering and image enhancement, segmentation, classification and feature detection, model and atlas based imaging, as well as system development and acceleration technologies. Biomedical Imaging is comprised of 40 contributed chapters, which are organized in such a way that researchers, engineers, clinical practitioners and graduate students can easily follow up with relevant topics, and will benefit from reading the views of the domain experts in their fields.
