Near-infrared photons: a non-invasive probe for studying bone blood flow regulation in humans

The study of bone blood flow regulation in humans has always represented a difficult task for the clinician and the researcher. Classical measurement techniques imply the presence of ionizing radiation or contrast agents, or they are slow or cannot be repeated too often in time. In the present revie...

description The study of bone blood flow regulation in humans has always represented a difficult task for the clinician and the researcher. Classical measurement techniques imply the presence of ionizing radiation or contrast agents, or they are slow or cannot be repeated too often in time. In the present review, we would like to give a perspective on how the optical approach might overcome some of these problems and give unique solutions to the study of bone blood flow regulation. We hope that the present contribution will encourage the scientific community to put a greater attention on this approach.
