Professor Igor Meglinski, MSc, PhD, is a Head of Opto-Electronics and Measurement Techniques Laboratory in the University of Oulu (Finland). For the last 20 years his research interests lie at the interface between physics, optical and biomedical engineering, sensor technologies and life sciences, focusing on the development of new non-invasive imaging/diagnostic techniques and their application in medicine & biology, material sciences, pharmacy, food, environmental monitoring, and health care industries. He pioneered the application of circularly polarized light for cancer diagnostics. He is the Node Leader in Biophotonics4Life Worldwide Consortium (BP4L), Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), and Fellow of SPIE. Professor Meglinski is author and co-author of over 220 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, proceedings of international conferences, books, book chapters, patents and professional magazines; over 450 presentations at major international conferences, symposia and workshops, including over 200 invited lectures and plenary talks.
This book explores the early-stage detection of cancer using polarized light. It discusses the diverse properties of the light (temporal and spatial coherence, polarization, fluorescence, etc.) that can be used non-invasively as an optical technique for recognizing precancerous lesions, which could become a reliable and accurate method for cancer screening. The search for the effective means for cancer screening is of particular interest to scientific and medical communities, because cancer takes its toll around the globe with no respect for age or gender. Early detection of the disease is a key factor in increasing the survival rate and patients´ quality of life.
