Presents the available knowledge on imaging techniques applied to biomaterials, especially in the orthopedics field. The volume includes basic and practical aspects of recent techniques, with particular emphasis on the study of materials, biological tissues (including bone), and tissue/implant interfaces. Chapter 1 addresses fundamental aspects of image processing and chapter 2 the question of 3-D visualization. Chapters 3 to 6 deal with techniques used for the study of materials surfaces, while the application of imaging techniques to the study of cells, tissue, and bone is covered in chapters 7 to 12. Chapters 13 to 22 cover the use of computer graphics. Finally, chapter 23 deals with the technological aspects of fabrication, including the subject of crown reconstruction by CAD/CAM.
