When light is incident to a biological tissue surface, combinations of optical processes occur,
such as reflection, absorption, elastic and non-elastic scattering, and fluorescence. Analysis …

Spectroscopic techniques examine different types of light-tissue interactions and provide
biochemical and morphological information at the molecular, cell, and tissue levels in a …

▪ Abstract The interaction of light within tissue has been used to recognize disease since the
mid-1800s. The recent developments of small light sources, detectors, and fiber optic probes …

Optical measurement methods are widely employed in both industrial and medical fields for
two reasons: they are non-invasive and they have a high resolution. Among the various …

Biomedical Optics as an interdisciplinary field of science has been developed during many
years and is experiencing tremendous growth, to cover a wide range of optical techniques …

Medical devices face many hurdles before they enter routine clinical practice to address
unmet clinical needs. This is also the case for biomedical optical spectroscopy and imaging …

This paper reviews the recent developments in the field of biomedical optical imaging,
