Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specific Aim 1: Develop and test plaque characterization criteria based on bireftingence. Coronary artenes were obtained at autopsy and imaged with the existing OCT system in our laboratory. The specimens were opened and imaged at normal body temperature (37-C) in saline. To ensure proper registration of OCT images with histolog the image location was marked with ink viewable on the OCT image and in the histology section. Routine histologic processing was performed using H & E, Elastic and Movat's pentachrome stains. Trichrome was used for fibrous tissue identification. Individual images were oriented and scaled to match histology. In the OCT images, the axial periodicity of the birefringence banding was measured using image processing software. A set of 20 correlated OCT and histology pairs were used to identify characterization criteria basal on birefringence. Our results indicated that fibrous plaque provides a strong birefringence as measured by OCT while lipid rich and calcific plaques can be identified by a complete loss of birefringenee.

Download or read book Free Electron Lasers 2000 written by V.N. Litvinenko and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2005-12-27 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 22nd International Free Electron Laser Conference and 7th FEL User Workshop were held August 13-18, 2000 at Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club in Durham, North Carolina, USA. The conference and the workshop were hosted by Duke University's Free Electron laser (FEL) Laboratory. Following tradition, the FEL prize award was announced at the banquet. The year 2000 FEL prize was awarded to three scientists propelling the limits of high power FELs: Steven Benson, Eisuke Minehara and George Neill. The conference program was comprised of traditional oral sessions on First Lasing, FEL theory, storage ring FELs, linac and high power FELs, long wavelength FELs, SASE FELs, accelerator and FEL physics and technology, and new developments and proposals. Two sessions on accelerator and FEL physics and technology reflected the emphasis on the high quality of accelerators and components for modern FELs. The breadth of the applications was presented in the workshop oral sessions on materials processing, biomedical and surgical applications, physics and chemistry as well as on instrumentation and methods for FEL applications. A special oral session was dedicated to FEL center status reports for users to learn more about the opportunities with FELs. As usual, the oral sessions were supplemented by poster sessions with in-depth discussions and communications. The FEL physicists and FEL users had excellent opportunities to interact throughout the duration of the event, culminating a Joint Sessions. The year 2000 was very successful being marked by lasing with two SASE and one storage ring short-wavelength FELs, and by the first human surgery with the use of FEL, to mention but a few. The International Program Committee and chairs of the sessions had the challenging and exciting problem of selecting invived and contributed talks for the conferences and the workshop from the influx of abstracts mentioning new results and ideas. The success of the conference was determined by these contributions. Scientists from 15 countries gave 70 talks, presented 176 posters and submitted 146 papers, which are published in the present volume of proceedings.

Download or read book An Introduction to Biomedical Optics written by Robert Splinter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many universities now offer a course in biomedical optics, but lack a textbook specifically addressing the topic. Intended to fill this gap, An Introduction to Biomedical Optics is the first comprehensive, introductory text describing both diagnostic and therapeutic optical methods in medicine. It provides the fundamental background needed for graduate students in biomedical and electrical engineering, physics, biology, and medicine to learn about several biomedical optics issues. The textbook is divided into three main sections: general optics theory, therapeutic applications of light, and diagnostic optical methods. Each chapter has different levels of detail to build students' knowledge from one level to the next. The first section covers the history of optics theory and the basic science behind light-tissue interactions. It also introduces the relevant approaches and approximations used to describe light propagation in turbid biological media. In the second section, the authors look more closely at light-tissue interactions and their applications in different medical areas, such as wound healing and tissue welding. The final section examines the various diagnostic methods that are employed using optical techniques. Throughout the text, the authors employ numerical examples of clinical and research requirements. Fulfilling the need for a concise biomedical optics textbook, An Introduction to Biomedical Optics addresses the theory and applications of this growing field.
