Industry Reviews Presents theory and applications of laser light interaction with tissue, in three parts. The first part presents the basis for light propagation in terms of energy transport. Both steady-state and time- of-flight light propagation are discussed, and governing equations are formulated that incorporate light scattering in tissue. The second part describes the thermal response of tissue to light, beginning with fundamental concepts in heat conduction, and then describing the effect of elevated temperature denaturing tissue components in terms of first-order rate reactions. The final part is devoted to applications of lasers in medicine, including fluorescence, ablation, port wine stains, hyperthermia, and laser balloon angioplasty. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
