In contrast, noninvasive blood glucose monitoring remains an unsolved challenge despite decades of research. This book delves into the scientific reasons why this goal has proven so elusive. It also introduces a variety of medical devices and healthcare technologies such as the pulse oximetry, OCT, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), optical CT, fluorescence imaging, blood flow imaging and photoacoustic imaging that use light to examine the body and explore the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yamada Yukio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9819826314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789819826315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.13d","brand":"Yamada Yukio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49148428222719,"sku":"9789819826315","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-biomedical-photonics-yamada-yukio-9789819826315","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
