Shaped by Quantum Theory, Technology, and the Genomics Revolution
The integration of photonics, electronics, biomaterials, and
nanotechnology holds great promise for the future of medicine. This
topic has recently experienced an explosive growth due to the
noninvasive or minimally invasive nature and the cost-effectiveness
of photonic modalities in medical diagnostics and therapy. The
second edition of the Biomedical Photonics Handbook presents
fundamental developments as well as important applications of
biomedical photonics of interest to scientists, engineers,
manufacturers, teachers, students, and clinical providers.
Represents the Collective Work of over 150 Scientists, Engineers,
and Clinicians Designed to display the most recent advances in
instrumentation and methods, as well as clinical applications in
important areas of biomedical photonics to a broad audience, this
three-volume handbook provides an inclusive forum that serves as an
authoritative reference source for a broad audience involved in the
research, teaching, learning, and practice of medical technologies.
What's New in This Edition: A wide variety of photonic biochemical
sensing technologies have already been developed for clinical
monitoring of physiological parameters, such as blood pressure,
blood chemistry, pH, temperature, and the presence of pathological
organisms or biochemical species of clinical importance. Advanced
photonic detection technologies integrating the latest knowledge of
genomics, proteomics and metabolomics allow sensing of early
disease state biomarkers, thus revolutionizing the medicine of the
future. Nanobiotechnology has opened new possibilities for
detection of biomarkers of disease, imaging single molecules and in
situ diagnostics at the single cell level. In addition to these
state-of-the art advancements, the second edition contains new
topics and chapters including: Fiber Optic Probe Design Laser and
Optical Radiation Safety Photothermal Detection Multidimensional
Fluorescence Imaging Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging Molecular
Contrast Optical Coherence Tomography Multiscale Photoacoustics
Polarized Light for Medical Diagnostics Quantitative Diffuse
Reflectance Imaging Interferometric Light Scattering Nonlinear
Interferometric Vibrational Imaging Multimodality Theranostics
Nanoplatforms Nanoscintillator-Based Therapy SERS Molecular
Sentinel Nanoprobes Plasmonic Coupling Interference Nanoprobes
Comprised of three books: Volume I: Fundamentals, Devices, and
Techniques; Volume II: Biomedical Diagnostics; and Volume III:
Therapeutics and Advanced Biophotonics, this second edition
contains eight sections, and provides introductory material in each
chapter. It also includes an overview of the topic, an extensive
collection of spectroscopic data, and lists of references for
further reading.
