Book Description
Medical diagnosis of tissue anomalies, particularly cancer, is often limited by the constraints of current imaging technologies. This book introduces two approaches to address this issue: the imaging and the non-imaging methods. In the imaging category, the book unveils a pioneering technique based on radio tomosynthesis. Initially proven effective in detecting breast anomalies, this imaging method is now under evaluation for its potential in identifying brain anomalies. For non-imaging diagnostics, it delves into Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a technique known for its speed and reliability. The book demonstrates its successful application in diagnosing a range of cancers, including oral, uterine, ovarian, gastrointestinal, colorectal, and skin cancers. Furthermore, it explores its utility in predicting embryo quality and assessing pressure injuries. To augment these methods, the book employs machine learning algorithms, evaluating their efficacy in creating discriminative models for tissue anomalies.

Handbook of Optical Biomedical Diagnostics
Author: Valeriĭ Viktorovich Tuchin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781628419122
Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
This text begins by describing the basic principles and diagnostic applications of optical techniques based on detecting and processing the scattering, fluorescence, FT IR, and Raman spectroscopic signals from various tissues, with an emphasis on blood, epithelial tissues, and human skin. The second half of the volume discusses specific imaging technologies, such as Doppler, laser speckle, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging.

Genetic Disorders, Syndromology and Prenatal Diagnosis
Author: T.V.N. Persaud
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401166692
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Birth defects have assumed an importance even greater now than in the past because infant mortality rates attributed to congenital anomalies have declined far less than those for other causes of death, such as infectious and nutritional diseases. As many as 50 % of all pregnancies terminate as miscarriages, and in the majority of cases this is the result of faulty intrauterine development. Major congenital malformations are present in at least 2 % of all liveborn infants, and 22 % of all stillbirths and infant deaths are associated with severe congenital anomalies. Not surprisingly, there has been a great proliferation of research into the problems of developmental abnormalities over the past few decades. This series, Advances in the Study of Birth Defects, was conceived in order to provide a comprehensive focal source of up-to-date information for physi cians concerned with the health of the unborn child and for research workers in the fields of fetal medicine and birth defects. The first four volumes featured recent experimental work on selected areas of high priority and intensive investigation, including mechanisms of teratogenesis, teratological evaluation, molecular and cellular aspects of abnormal development, and neural and behavioural teratology. It seems logical and timely that the clinical aspects should now be presented. Accordingly, leading experts were invited to review a broad range of common problems from the standpoint of embryology, aetiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management. This volume deals with genetic disorders and prenatal diagnosis.
