In 2021, over 537 million people worldwide were diagnosed with diabetes,
according to the International Diabetes Federation and so the diagnosis,
care and treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus have become one of
the highest healthcare priorities. Biomedical photonics methods have
been found to significantly improve and assist in the diagnosis of
various disorders and complications arising from diabetes. These methods
have also been widely used in various studies in the field of diabetes,
including in the assessment of biochemical characteristics, metabolic
processes, and microcirculation that are impaired in this disease.
This book provides an introduction to methods of biomedical photonics.
The chapters, written by world-leading experts, cover a wide range of
issues, including the theoretical basis of different biophotonics
methods and practical issues concerning the conduction of experimental
studies to diagnose disorders associated with diabetes. It provides a
comprehensive summary of the recent advances in biomedical optics and
photonics in the study of diabetes and related complications.
This book will be of interest to biomedical physicists and researchers,
in addition to practicing doctors and endocrinologists looking to
explore new instrumental methods for monitoring the effectiveness of
patient treatment.
