Vibrational Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis provides an up-to-date account of the practical means, applications and potential of mid-infrared and Raman spectroscopy for the medical diagnosis of diseased tissue and cells.
Vibrational Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis will be significant interest to vibrational spectroscopists involved in developing techniques for medical diagnosis, and to clincians, histopathologists, medical practitioners and students working in the fields.
