Synopsis

This study provides a thorough description of the fundamentals and applications in the field. The physical fundamentals such as reflexion, absorption and scattering, effects such as heat generation and conduction, plasma induction, the formation of shock waves, and cavitation are treated in detail. The application part reviews all clinical relevant methods with emphasis on ophthalmology, dentistry, neurosurgery and gynaecology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Medical practitioners, scientists and graduate students alike will find this exhaustive survey a vital learning tool. It provides a thorough description of the fundamentals and applications in the field of laser-tissue interactions. 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. The author pays special attention to mathematical tools (Monte Carlo simulations, the Kubelka-Munk theory etc) and approved techniques (photodynamic therapy, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy etc). A section on applications reviews clinically relevant methods in modern medicine using the latest references.
