Handbook of Optical Biomedical Diagnostics, Volume 1: Light-Tissue InteractionAuthor(s): Valery V. Tuchin\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: SPIE Press, United States\nImprint: SPIE Press\nISBN-13: 9781628419092, 978-1628419092\nSynopsis\nSince the publication of the first edition of the Handbook in 2002, optical methods for biomedical diagnostics have developed in many well-established directions, and new trends have also appeared. To encompass all current methods, the text has been updated and expanded into two volumes.\n\nVolume 1: Light - Tissue Interaction features eleven chapters, five of which focus on the fundamental physics of light propagation in turbid media such as biological tissues. The six following chapters introduce near-infrared techniques for the optical study of tissues and provide a snapshot of current applications and developments in this dynamic and exciting field. Topics include the scattering of light in disperse systems, the optics of blood, tissue phantoms, a co.
