Republic of Belarus) deserves special words of gratitude for his wise scientific
foresight and provided to us support in a difficult time, unique intuition toward
everything new in science, for the paternal care shown not only to us, the authors of
this book Leonid V. Tanin and Andrei L. Tanin, but also to the creation together
with us a brand new scientific school of speckle-optical diagnostics and laser
hemotherapy in the treatment of diseases of peripheral nervous system. We have a
deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation toward Boris Ivanovich Stepanov
(Academician, Doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, Professor, former
Director of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR) and to
Alexander Sergeevich Rubanov (Academician, Doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, Professor, Head of the Laboratory of Optical Holography of this
Institute) for presenting to us opportunity to realize ourselves in the creation and
development of a brand new school in modern scientific and biomedical optics.
Besides, we would like to express our gratitude to the Candidate of medical sciences Ludmila Alexandrovna Vasilevskaya who during many years effectively,
with great passion and professionalism, uses laser specklometer for the diagnostics
of the diseases of peripheral and central nervous systems.
We express our gratitude to the people with whom we were lucky to communicate, work, study and gain experience. I would like to touch every chapter and
point out each person who supported us:
