Abstract:
The primary objective of this book is to compile the latest research topics on biomedical imaging and tissue characterization techniques that utilize vibration and acoustics. This book includes two parts. The first part is dedicated to imaging, which is comprised of eight chapters. The second part is dedicated to the applications of vibration and acoustics in tissue characterization. Readers will find this text a valuable asset in keeping them abreast of the latest techniques in this area. It will appeal not only to fellow researchers, but also to clinicians, practitioners, lecturers and students in this exciting and vital field of study.
