Abstract
The field of biomedical optics is experiencing tremendous growth. Biomedical technologies contribute in the creation of devices used in healthcare of various specialties (ophthalmology, cardiology, anesthesiology, and immunology, etc.). Recent research in biomedical optics is discussed. Overviews of meetings held at the 2002 Optical Society of America Biomedical Topical Meetings are presented.
Highlights
Biomedical optics technologies continue to advance at a spectacular rate, contributing to the growth of novel devices that affect healthcare in virtually all medical specialties: ophthalmology, dermatology, oncology, radiology, anesthesiology, gynecology, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, neonatology, immunology, and clinical chemistry
Few basic biological science disciplines are not touched by biomedical optics, since optical methods play a critical role in biotechnologies ranging from genomics to cell-based assays
The importance of biomedical optics has never been greater. This issue of Applied Optics highlights recent research in biomedical optics. This particular issue was proposed by Applied Optics Associate Editor Gregory FarisSRI Internationalwith the idea of featuring research presented at the 2002 Optical Society of America Biomedical Topical Meetings in which such topics as advances in optical imaging and photon migration; biomedical optical spectroscopy, imaging, and diagnostics; and optical techniques in neuroscience were discussed
