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 recent
fundamental developments as well as important applications of
biomedical photonics of interest to scientists, engineers,
manufacturers, teachers, students, and clinical providers. The
third volume, Therapeutics and Advanced Biophotonics, focuses on
therapeutic modalities, advanced biophotonic technologies, and
future trends.
"
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 has
already been developed for clinical monitoring of early disease
states and 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 states, 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
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 a list of references for
further reading."
