Image contrast processes in thermal and thermoacoustic imaging
Abstract
Recent developments in thermal wave or more generally modulated source imaging using laser-beam, electron-beam, and ion-beam sources are discussed. Thermal wave imaging is further classified on the basis of the type of detection process used, and recent work relating to contrast mechanisms in the several classes of thermal imaging is discussed.
