Review "... a comprehensive and state-of-the-art reference on computational optical biomedical spectroscopy and imaging. Researchers and graduate students who are actively involved in this field would benefit greatly from reading this book."―Axel Mainzer Koenig, CEO, 21st Century Data Analysis, a division of Koenig & Associates, Inc., Portland, Oregon, USA, from Optics & Photonics News, June 2015 "… the main strengths of this book is related to the fact that it provides an interest insider viewpoints about computational methods in optical biomedical spectroscopy and imaging. It also included interesting reviews about modern approaches, methods, and techniques. Interesting perspectives are also clearly delineated. The instrumentation used for spectroscopy and imaging is also reviewed. This seems to me very interesting, too."―Matteo Pastorino, DITEN-University of Genoa About the Author Sarhan M.
