Review of the original book: "The author describes the fundamental principles of laser-tissue interaction through numerous examples, providing a broad background knowledge and an invaluable reference tool." Journal of Lasers in Surgery and Medicine
This book systematically describes the principles of laser-tissue interaction and its applications in related fields, elaborating on the optical and thermal properties of tissues, various types of tissue ablation, the basic concepts of photo-induced rupture, and mathematical tools such as the Monte Carlo Kubelka-Munk theory and photodynamic therapy, laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy, and more. Additionally, this book summarizes the diverse diagnostic and treatment methods of lasers in modern medicine, including ophthalmology, dentistry, gynecology, urology, neurosurgery, cardiovascular angioplasty and cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, and pulmonary medicine. The final chapter provides modern standards for laser safety. This book is suitable for scholars, senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as technicians in related research fields such as chemistry, physics, electronic technology, and biomedical engineering.
