Clinical Spectroscopy

Affiliated with the International Society of Clinical Spectroscopy

Clinical Spectroscopy is an open access peer-review journal focused on the translation of spectroscopy into the clinical environment to improve patient diagnosis and prognosis.
The development of optical spectroscopic techniques and their cutting-edge applications to clinical and biomedical research are of interest to this Journal. Other topics of interest are Molecular Imaging and Computational methods to interpret optical and spectroscopic measurements.

Emphasis will be on clinical based studies applying primarily optical spectroscopy, including vibrational and UV/Visible spectroscopy, although, other multimodal approaches incorporating mass spectrometry, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics coupled to optical based spectroscopic techniques are highly welcomed. Unless coupled to optical spectroscopy, manuscripts utilizing fluorescence spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray and gamma ray analysis will not be considered for publication.

Clinical Spectroscopy offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility.

The editors welcome original research articles, short communications and reviews on topics including but not limited to spectroscopy applications in:

• Diagnosis and sensing:

- Biomedical Imaging,
- Biosensing,
- Point of care diagnostic,
- Disease Detection.

• Surgical guidance and in-vivo applications

• Therapeutics monitoring and Drug Release

• New Devices and Emerging Instrumentations and their miniaturization for clinical applications

• Clinical Translation

• Data Analysis

- Data pretreatment,
- Calibration,
- Interpretation.
