A survey of the literature is presented that provides an analysis of the optical properties of
human skin, with particular regard to their applications in medicine. Included is a description …

Refractive index (RI) is a characteristic optical variable that controls the propagation of light
in the medium (eg, biological tissues). Basic research with the aim to investigate the RI of …

Tissue optics is a rapidly expanding field of great interest to those involved in the
development of optical medical technologies. In the present review both strongly (multiple) …

This book introduces some of the recent key developments in polarization optical methods
that have made possible the quantitative studies of tissues and biological cells essential to …

Skin is the outer-most tissue of the human body. As a result, people are very aware of, and
very sensitive to, the appearance of their skin. Consequently, skin appearance has been a …

Capabilities in real-time monitoring of internal physiological processes could inform
pharmacological drug-delivery schedules, surgical intervention procedures and the …

This paper summarizes the description of the speckle-correlation, speckle-interferometric,
and polarimetric methods and instruments designed for various tissue structure imaging and …

The absolute quantified measurement of haemoglobin skin blood saturation from collected
reflectance spectra of the skin is complicated by the fact that the blood content of tissues can …

In vivo vibrational spectroscopic imaging is inhibited by relatively slow spectral acquisition
on the second scale and low photon collection efficiency for a highly scattering system …

Многие современные медицинские технологии базируются на фундаментальных
результатах, полученных в физике, в частности оптике. Хорошим примером, важным …
