Scope

Recent growth in the use of optics technology for biomedical research and health care has been explosive. New applications are made possible by emerging technologies in lasers, optoelectronic devices, fiber optics, physical and chemical sensors, and imaging - all of which are being applied to medical research, diagnostics, and therapy. The Journal of Biomedical Optics is intended to be the repository for peer-reviewed papers that utilize modern optical technology for improved health care and biomedical research. Topics suitable for the Journal of Biomedical Optics include the following:

• Medical and biological imaging instrumentation and techniques
• Noninvasive physiological monitoring
• Laser-tissue interactions and dosimetry
• Laser diagnostic and laser therapeutic methods, instruments, and systems
• Ophthalmic instruments, systems, implants, and clinical applications
• Optical biosensors
• Ultrasensitive detection and optical clinical chemistry
• Optical tomography and photon migration
• Endoscopic systems and applications
• Biospectroscopy and optoelectronic instrumentation
• Fiber optic sensors, instrumentation, and techniques
• Optical and structural microscopy
• Applications of optical systems and technologies to biology and medicine.

The Journal will also publish brief reviews of rapidly emerging topics or articles of general interest to our scientific community, and will also consider issues of technology transfer, market projections, and ethics-all of which affect the eventual use of new research capabilities or products. Short reports and letters will also be accepted.

The Journal of Biomedical Optics is included in the U.S. National Library of Medicine's Index Medicus/MEDLINE.
