Abstract
Biomedical Optics as an interdisciplinary field of science has been developed during many
years and is experiencing tremendous growth, to cover a wide range of optical techniques
and methods, utilized for medical therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Biomedical optics
contributes in the introducing methods and creation of devices used in healthcare of
various specialties, such as ophthalmology, cardiology, surgery, dermatology, oncology,
radiology, etc. Each of these specialities might take advantages of different optical
techniques and methods such as: laser surgery, optical thermotherapy, optical tomography
and imaging, optical biopsies, photodynamic therapy, in vitro diffuse spectroscopy, etc1.
Among all of the mentioned methods and techniques; medical applications of in vitro
diffuse spectroscopy is the main topic covered by the projects presented in this book.
This thesis is presented in two parts. Part one, consists of four chapters as an introduction
to the scientific works that are presented in three original papers in part two. Part one,
covers areas that might not have been explicitly apparent in the papers, but have formed a
basis needed to interpret data, and to understand the background for the various studied
phenomena.
