Optical sensing

An addition to the “Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering,” the 744-page book Handbook of Optical Sensing of Glucose in Biological Fluids and Tissues covers novel and prospective noninvasive optical methods and techniques for glucose sensing. It presents reviews of commercially available glucose sensors, details new optical techniques for glucose diffusion coefficient measurements in human tissue and explains glucose-induced optical clearing effects in tissue and blood.
