Abstract

The specificity of optical spectral diffusion techniques and scattering spectroscopy is discussed. Two types of instruments and measuring techniques are presented: spectroscopic, used for monitoring local parameters of tissue, and tomographic, used for tissue pathology imaging using structural and functional information. Some of these techniques are based on CW light source tissue probing. A few examples of CW measuring and imaging instruments and results of clinical studies are presented.
