The range of biophotonics applications in clinical practice is considerably wide given that the optical properties of biological tissues are subject to significant changes during disease progression. Due to the small size of studied objects (from μm to mm) and despite some minimum restrictions (low-intensity light is used), these technologies have great diagnostic potential both as an additional tool and in cases of separate use, for example, to assess conditions affecting microcirculatory bed and tissue viability. This Special Issue presents topical articles by researchers engaged in the development of new methods and devices for optical non-invasive diagnostics in various fields of medicine. Several studies in this Special Issue demonstrate new information relevant to surgical procedures, especially in oncology and gynecology. Two articles are dedicated to the topical problem of breast cancer early detection, including during surgery. One of the articles is devoted to urology, namely to the problem of chronic or recurrent episodic urethral pain. Several works describe the studies in otolaryngology and dentistry. One of the studies is devoted to diagnosing liver diseases. A number of articles contribute to the studying of the alterations caused by diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. The results of all the presented articles reflect novel innovative research and emerging ideas in optical non-invasive diagnostics aimed at their wider translation into clinical practice.Public health and preventive medicinebicsscbiophotonicsblood perfusionblood perfusion in foreheadblood perfusion in shinsblood perfusion in wristsblood perfusion oscillationsblood rheologybody positionbreast cancercalculuscardiovascular systemchemoresistancecirculatory systemcisplatincompressional optical coherence elastography (C-OCE)coronary heart diseasecross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP OCT)cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT)cumulative sumdiabetes mellitusdiabetes mellitus type 2diagnosticsdigital capillaroscopydigital diaphanoscopyductembryonic developmentendogenous fluorescenceepithelial atrophyepithelial hyperplasiafibrosisfluorescencegray-level co-occurrence matrixheating testimage assessmentimage evaluationimagingin vivo imagingindocyanine greeninflammationinflammatory diseaseslaser aggregometrylaser Doppler flowmetrylaser tweezersliver cancerliver diagnosisliver functional reservemachine learningmagnetic resonance imagingminimally invasive interventionsMonte Carlo simulationnear-infrared lightnon-invasive measurementsnon-invasive optical diagnosticsoptical densitometryoptical densityoptical diagnosticoptical diagnosticsoptical mappingoptical propertiesopticsortostatic testovarian adenocarcinomaparanasal sinusesperiodontitisplasma disappearance ratepostural changespower spectrumraman spectroscopyred blood cell aggregationscattering theoriesshortwave-infrared lightspectroscopytooth tissuesultrasoundurethral pain syndromevasomotionsvisible human projectvisible lightvoxelized mediawearable blood flow sensorszebrafishPublic health and preventive medicineDunaev Andreyedt1323482Dunaev AndreyothBOOK9910557693003321Optical Diagnostics in Human Diseases3035607UNINA
