Applications of Spectroscopy as Clinical Diagnostic Tool

The purpose of this article is to underline the possibility of efficiently using spectroscopical methods as diagnostic tools. Spectroscopyinvolves the study of the interrelationship s between the spectral characteristics of objects and their biophysical attributes. It provides a tool for the development, refinement and testing of models relating biophysical attributes to remotely-sensed data. The disciplines evaluating spectroscopy in the context of existing modalities are required. The ability of spectroscopy to furnish non- invasive information about tissue chemistry in patients bodies well for its impact on clinical research and diagnostic screening tools in detecting various diseases. In addition, several key applications are also reported.
