The second edition maintains the standard of excellence established
in the first edition, while adjusting the content to reflect
changes in tissue optics and medical applications since 1995. The
material concerning light propagation now contains new chapters
devoted to electromagnetic theory for coherent light. The material
concerning thermal laser-tissue interactions contains a new chapter
on pulse ablation of tissue. The medical applications section now
includes several new chapters on Optical Coherent Tomography,
acoustic imaging, molecular imaging, forensic optics and nerve
stimulation. A detailed overview is provided of the optical and
thermal response of tissue to laser irradiation along with
diagnostic and therapeutic examples including fiber optics.
Sufficient theory is included in the book so that it is suitable
for a one or two semester graduate or for senior elective courses.
Material covered includes (1) light propagation and diagnostic
application; (2) the thermal response of tissue and therapeutic
application; (3) denaturation; and (4) ablation. The theory and
applications provide researchers with sufficient detail that this
volume will become the primary reference for laser-tissue
interactions and medical applications.
