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 …

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 …

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

Welcome to a fascinating field of medical research! Welcome to this fourth edition of “Laser–
Tissue Interactions” which has meanwhile turned into the standard reference book at …

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 …

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 …

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 …
