This book presents cutting-edge papers and perspectives on the transport of oxygen to tissues by scientists in a multitude of disciplines such as biochemistry, engineering, mathematics, medicine, physics, physiology, veterinary and complementary medicine. The book is composed of the following 7 parts: 50th Anniversary, Brain, Clinical applications, Methods and techniques, Tumor Oxygenation, Tissue oxygenation and Muscle. The articles in this book have been presented at the 50th annual meeting of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT 2023). Academics, clinical and industry researchers, engineers, as well as graduate students who are interested in oxygen transport to tissue will find this book a great reference and a useful learning resource.

Why do our fingertips glow red when we shine a light through our hand?This book unravels such everyday optical mysteries and introduces healthcare technologies based on these very phenomena — technologies that "examine" the body and "explore" the human mind using light.Among the most successful applications are pulse oximetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT). In contrast, noninvasive blood glucose monitoring remains an unsolved challenge despite decades of research. This book delves into the scientific reasons why this goal has proven so elusive. It also introduces a variety of medical devices and healthcare technologies such as the pulse oximetry, OCT, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), optical CT, fluorescence imaging, blood flow imaging and photoacoustic imaging that use light to examine the body and explore the mind.
