Coherence imaging technologies for the measurement of tissue and cell biomechanics
Biomechanical properties are important for living tissues and cells. They are indicators of functional changes and pathological variations in the micro-structure, such as during tumor development. The topic of this thesis falls at the intersection of biomechanics and optical imaging, and focuses on …
