Neurophotonics and Biomedical SpectroscopyAuthor(s): Robert R. Alfano, Lingyan Shi\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division\nISBN-13: 9780323480673, 978-0323480673\nSynopsis\nNeurophotonics and Biomedical Spectroscopy addresses the novel state-of-the-art work in non-invasive optical spectroscopic methods that detect the onset and progression of diseases and other conditions, including pre-malignancy, cancer, Alzheimers disease, tissue and cell response to therapeutic intervention, unintended injury and laser energy deposition. The book then highlights research in neurophotonics that investigates single and multi-photon excitation optical signatures of normal/diseased nerve tissues and in the brain, providing a better understanding of the underlying biochemical and structural changes of tissues and cells that are responsible for the observed spectroscopic signatures. Topics cover a wide array of wel.
