Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood
and tissues is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of
optical techniques has recently been designed to help develop robust noninvasive
methods for glucose sensing. For the first time in book form, the Handbook of
Optical Sensing of Glucose in Biological Fluids and Tissues analyzes trends
in noninvasive optical glucose sensing and discusses its impact on tissue optical
properties.
This handbook presents methods that improve the accuracy in glucose prediction
based on infrared absorption spectroscopy, recent studies on the influence of
acute hyperglycemia on cerebral blood flow, and the correlation between diabetes
and the thermo-optical response of human skin. It examines skin glucose monitoring
by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), fluorescence-based glucose biosensors,
and a photonic crystal contact lens sensor. The contributors also explore problems
of polarimetric glucose sensing in transparent and turbid tissues as well as
offer a high-resolution optical technique for noninvasive, continuous, and accurate
blood glucose monitoring and glucose diffusion measurement.
Written by world-renowned experts in biomedical optics and biophotonics, this
book gives a complete, state-of-the-art treatise on the design and applications
of noninvasive optical methods and instruments for glucose sensing.
