Book News Annotation:

This reference presents fundamental concepts and research on laser- cell and laser-tissue interactions basic for biomedical diagnostics, as well as the clinical applications of the techniques and instruments. The 19 chapters by experts in the field discuss light- tissue interaction; pulse and frequency-domain techniques for tissue spectroscopy and imaging; scattering, fluorescence, and infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy of tissues; and coherent-domain methods for biological flows and tissue ultrastructure monitoring. Special features include up-to-date information on methods of laser (coherent) tomography and spectroscopy; detailed coverage of blood optics, blood and lymph flow, and blood aggregation measurement techniques; and material on light scattering, speckle formation and other nondestructive interactions of laser light with tissue.
