Riassunto

Providing a description of the fundamentals and applications in the field of laser-tissue interaction, this book covers basic concepts such as the optical and thermal properties of tissue, the various types of tissue ablation and optical breakdown and its related effects. Special attention is given to mathematical tools (Monte Carlo simulations, the Kubelka-Munk theory and others) and approved techniques (photodynamic therapy, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy and others). The part on applications reviews clinically relevant methods in medicine using the modern references. The last chapter covers contemporary thermotherapy standards of laser safety, with a careful selection of guidelines published by the Laser Institute of America. The book is intended as a guide for graduate students, scientists, and medical practitioners.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book provides a thorough description of the fundamentals and applications in this field. Basic concepts such as the optical and thermal properties of tissue, the various types of tissue ablation, and optical breakdown and its related effects are treated in detail. Special attention is given to mathematical tools (Monte Carlo simulations, the Kubelka--Munk theory etc.) and approved techniques (photodynamic therapy, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy etc.). The part on applications reviews clinically relevant methods in modern medicine using the latest references. The last chapter covers today's standards of laser safety, with a careful selection of essential guidelines published by the Laser Institute of America. Numerous research photographs, illustrations, tables and comprehensive summaries make this book a useful guide for graduate students, scientists, and medical practitioners.
