Frontiers in biophotonics for translational medicine : in the celebration of Year of Light (2015)

The present book provides recent developments in various in vivo imaging and sensing techniques such as photo acoustics (PA) imaging and microscopy, ultrasound-PA combined modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and micro OCT, Raman and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLI) techniques and nanoparticle enabled endoscopy etc. There is also a contributing chapter from leading medical instrumentation company on their view of optical imaging techniques in clinical laparoscopic surgery. The UN proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, emphasizing achievements in the optical sciences and their importance to human beings. In this context, this book focusses on the recent advances in biophotonics techniques primarily focused towards translational medicine contributed by thought leaders who have made cutting edge developments in various photonics techniques -- OhioLink Library Catalog Front Matter....Pages i-xii Fluorescence Lifetime Spectroscopy and Imaging Techniques in Medical Applications....Pages 1-46 Translational Photoacoustic Microscopy....Pages 47-73 Advances in Optoacoustic Imaging: From Benchside to Clinic....Pages 75-109 Raman Spectroscopy Techniques: Developments and Applications in Translational Medicine....Pages 111-133 Deep Tissue Hemodynamic Monitoring Using Diffuse Optical Probes....Pages 135-159 High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography for Bio-Imaging....Pages 161-208 Handheld Probe-Based Dual Mode Ultrasound/Photoacoustics for Biomedical Imaging....Pages 209-247 Plasmonic Exosome Biosensors for Medical Diagnostics....Pages 249-272 Nanoparticle-Enabled Optical Endoscopy: Extending the Frontiers of Diagnosis and Treatment....Pages 273-305 Monitoring Free Gas In Situ for Medical Diagnostics Using Laser Spectroscopic Techniques....Pages 307-326 Next Frontier in Optical Imaging Techniques for Laparoscopic Surgery: An Industry Perspective....Pages 327-354
