Pathologic analysis of the biologic effects and mechanisms of laser–tissue interactions
requires correlation of the irradiation parameters with the biologic status and response of the …

The primary zone of deposition of optical energy is called here the optical zone. The tissue
absorption, tissue scattering, laser-beam diameter, or size of pigmented structures can …

A single diagram, encompassing most medical applications for all types of laser in current
use, forms the basis of this review of recent medical developments. Emphasis is placed on …

Low-energy laser irradiation produces significant bioeffects. These effects are manifested in
biochemical, physiological and proliferative phenomena in various enzymes, cells, tissues …

An overview of laser-tissue interactions is presented in terms of the physical mechanisms of
interaction, the time course of tissue response, and the level of biologic structure affected …

Heat is generated in laser irradiated tissues by absorption and transformation of the light
energy into heat. Once generated within tissues, heat is heat no matter what original energy …

Aim: The aim of this article was to review experimental studies of laser irradiation of human
and animal cells in culture to assess the photobiomodulatory effects of such irradiation …

This book presents theory and applications of laser light interaction with tissue. In recent
years, propagation of light in tissue and the resulting photochemical or photothermal …

Abstract Background and Objectives Determining cell photo‐damage is important for laser
medicine and laser safety standards. This work evaluated the potential of photothermal (PT) …

The five interaction mechanisms associated with laser treatment of patients are described.
They are the photothermal, photochemical, photoacoustical, photoablative, and …
