چکیده
Improved detectors, new electro-optical devices and vastly improved computational power for data analysis have fueled the recent interest in combining biology and spectroscopy. This review article will cover three aspects of biomedical spectroscopy. (1 ) Data acquisition: what instruments are available for acquiring an image cube and what are the performance trade-offs involved in choosing one over the other (2) Data analysis: what are some of the approaches for examining very large and multivariate data sets? We shall see that the remote sensing community, focused primarily on geology, has many tools that can be applied to biomedical data. (3) Applications: which current research areas in biology and medicine can exploit the power of imaging spectroscopy?

متن کاملDiffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Diffusion Temperal Spectroscopy
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) provides a unique approach for probing the microstructure of biological tissues and is an important tool for both clinical and research applications, such as for the diagnosis of stroke and detection of cancer. However, conventional DWI measurements using pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) methods cannot in practice probe very short diffusion ti...
متن کاملLocalized near-infrared spectroscopy and functional optical imaging of brain activity.
Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rates (CMRO2) have been used as indices for changes in neuronal activity. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can also measure cerebral haemodynamics and metabolic changes, enabling the possible use of multichannel recording of NIRS for functional optical imaging of human brain activity. Spatio-temporal variations of brain regions were d...
