Lasers have a wide and growing range of applications in medicine.
Lasers for Medical Applications summarises the wealth of recent
research on the principles, technologies and application of lasers
in diagnostics, therapy and surgery.
Part one gives an overview of the use of lasers in medicine, key
principles of lasers and radiation interactions with tissue. To
understand the wide diversity and therefore the large possible
choice of these devices for a specific diagnosis or treatment, the
respective types of the laser (solid state, gas, dye, and
semiconductor) are reviewed in part two. Part three describes
diagnostic laser methods, for example optical coherence tomography,
spectroscopy, optical biopsy, and time-resolved fluorescence
polarization spectroscopy. Those methods help doctors to refine the
scope of involvement of the particular body part or, for example,
to specify the extent of a tumor. Part four concentrates on the
therapeutic applications of laser radiation in particular branches
of medicine, including ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology,
urology, gynecology, otorhinolaryngology (ORL), neurology,
dentistry, orthopaedic surgery and cancer therapy, as well as laser
coatings of implants. The final chapter includes the safety
precautions with which the staff working with laser instruments
must be familiar.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, this important book summarizes international
achievements in the field of laser applications in medicine in the
past 50 years. It provides a valuable contribution to laser
medicine by outstanding experts in medicine and engineering.
