Among the various optics-based tools used in diagnostics, diffuse optics (DO) is rapidly emerging as one of the most attractive technologies. The technique is based on analyzing how light is absorbed ...

A survey of optical imaging and spectroscopy for the study of the human brain has reported that the field is currently "only at the beginning of this optical revolution." Published in SPIE ...

Red blood cell transfusions (RBCTs) are life-saving treatments for critically ill patients suffering from anemia, a condition where the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells to deliver oxygen ...

Disruption to the spinal cord's blood flow can have devastating consequences for patients, whether caused by accidental trauma or during elective surgical procedures. A restriction in blood supply, or ...

Diffuse optical measurement techniques employ near-infrared light to non-invasively probe cerebral haemodynamics by assessing both absorption and scattering properties of brain tissue. Methods such as ...
