Biomedical and Resonance Optics

This book discusses fundamentally new biomedical imaging methods, such as holography, holographic and resonant interferometry, and speckle optics. It focuses on the development of holographic interference microscopy and its use in the study of phase objects such as nerve and muscle fibers subjected to the influence of laser radiation, magnetic fields, and hyperbaric conditions. The book shows how the myelin sheath and even the axon itself exhibit waveguide properties, enabling a fresh new look at the mechanisms of information transmission in the human body. The book presents theoretically and experimentally tested holographic and speckle-optical methods and devices used for investigating complex, diffusely scattering surfaces such as skin and muscle tissue. Additionally, it gives broad discussion of the authors' own original fundamental and applied research dedicated to helping physicians introduce new contact-less methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseasesof the cardiovascular and neuromuscular systems into medical practice. The book is aimed at a broad spectrum of scientific specialists in the fields of speckle optics, holography, laser physics, morphology and cytochemistry, as well as medical professionals such as physiologists, neuropathologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists and dentists.

Introduces the physical principles of next-generation biomedical imaging methods based on coherent optical devices Gives a fresh look at the mechanisms of information transfer in the human muscular system as elucidated through holographic interference microscopy Discusses the development of biomedical optics with respect to new speckle-optical diagnostics and laser haemotherapy

Leonid V. Tanin is Academician of the International Academy of Engineering, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, honored Inventor of the Republic of Belarus, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CJSC HOLOGRAPHY INDUSTRY.

In 1971 he graduated from Physical Department of State Leningrad University (Department of Optics and Spectroscopy), in 1974 - postgraduate course of Leningrad Physical and Technical Institute of A.F. Ioffe of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Sector of Plasma Optics). In 1978 he created a scientific group "Coherent-optical studies of medical and biological systems" in the Research Institute of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Physiotherapy of the Ministry of Health of the BSSR and he was in charge of it more than 20 years. Leonid Tanin is one of the founders of a future-oriented field in science - biomedical optics. He developed the basis of speckle-optical diagnostics and laser hemotherapy in the treatment of diseases of peripheral and central nervous systems, he created the diagnostic device "Laser specklometer", that does not have analogs in the whole world, for the study of biomechanical activity of muscles and surface blood flow. In 2012 for the monograph "Biomedical and resonant optics: theory and practice" Leonid Tanin and Andrei Tanin were awarded the First Prize named after Yu.I. Ostrovsky "For the best scientific work in the field of optical holography and interferometry" of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2014 Leonid Tanin successfully defended his doctoral thesis on the topic "Resonant holographic and speckle-optical studies of phase, diffuse and mirror objects".

Leonid Tanin is the author of 300 scientific publications, including 4 monographs, 78 patents and certificates of authorship and patents that are registered both in our country and abroad, coauthor of two teaching textbooks.

He was a member of the International Program Committees in the field of biomedical optics (1990, 1992, Germany; 1994, Japan; 2002, Belarus). He presented lecture courses in this sphere in the leading universities and world scientific centers.

In 1994 Leonid Tanin was elected Chairman of the Belarusian Society of Biomedical Optics in the Belarusian branch of SPIE (USA).

Andrei L. Tanin is Associate Professor, from 2010-2015 a director of State Establishment "Republican Scientific and Practical Center of Neurology and Neurosurgery" of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus, a chief neurosurgeon of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus.

After graduating from Minsk State Medical Institute Andrei Tanin began studying at clinical residency and afterwards he entered postgraduate studies in the neurosurgical department of the Research Institution of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Physiotherapy of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus. In 2003 he successfully defended candidate dissertation "Restoration of the function of peripheral nerves after neuroraphy under the influence of laser hemotherapy".

Andrei L. Tanin is one of those who developed a completely new in modern medicine speckle-optical diagnostics and laser hemotherapy in treatment of peripheral and central nervous systems. With his participation the monograph "Laser hemotherapy in the treatment of diseases of peripheral nervous system" was published.

Since 2015 he has been the associate professor of the department of neurology and neurosurgery of State Educational Establishment "Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education", a leading researcher at the State Establishment "Republican Scientific and Practical Center of Neurology and Neurosurgery." He was awarded the badge "Excellence in Health Care of the Republic of Belarus", diplomas of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

His main research interests are related to the problems of surgical treatment of intracerebralhypertensive hemorrhages, supratentorial gliomas and damage to peripheral nerves. Andrei L. Tanin is the author of more than 115 scientific publications, including two monographs, four patents and seven teaching textbooks.
