Download or read book Novel Optical Endoscopes for Early Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy written by Dale Jonathan Waterhouse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the design, development, characterisation and clinical translation of three novel devices for optical endoscopic imaging. Over the past decade, rapid innovation in optics and photonics has led to the availability of low-cost and high-performance optical technologies that can be exploited for biomedical applications, but relatively few have been translated into clinic. The work presented outlines for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the common barriers and unique challenges associated with the translation of optical imaging techniques. To assist developers streamline translation of optical imaging devices in future, a roadmap to clinical translation is outlined, and key translational characteristics are defined. Guided by these, subsequent development of endoscopic devices resulted in preparation and approval of endoscopes for first in human trials in the oesophagus, for early detection of cancer, and in the brain, for delineation of tumour during surgical resection. The thesis culminates in the presentation of results from the first in human use of a compact multispectral endoscope for imaging endogenous tissue contrast in the oesophagus. With continuation of the work as outlined at the end of this thesis, the novel techniques described have the potential to improve the standard of care in their respective indications.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diagnosis and treatment of the diseases of the nose, paranasal sinuses and skull base have changed dramatically in the past few years, transforming rhinol ogy in one of most exciting and attractive medical fields. The increasing advance in this area has addressed the ENT physicians to keep up with the expanding information in the high tech area of sinus surgery and its expansion into skull base surgery. The intention of this book is to present in a unique way basic information on Anatomy, Endoscopy, Rhinomanometry, Imaging, Allergy, Nasosinus Infection, and Polyposis followed by by clinical and surgical chapters written by some of the most experienced rhinosurgeons around the world. We belive that this book will be of value for all levels of Otolaryngology, from house officers to experienced surgeons and, although principally for Otolaryngologists, Radiologists, Patholo gists, Maxillofacial surgeons, Ophthalmologists, Neurosurgeons, and Infectious Diseases Specialists may find the book of value because of its overlap with their interests. We would like to show that, both from the technical and conceptual points of view, success can be achieved using different techniques and philosophies. Cer tainly, both endoscopic instrumentation and the surgical microscope have proved to be of great assistance in nasal and sinus surgery, and now image systems are providing further progress.
