Download or read book Lasers for Medical Applications written by Helena Jelínková and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. - Describes the interaction of laser light with tissue - Reviews every type of laser used in medicine: solid state, gas, dye and semiconductor - Describes the use of lasers for diagnostics

This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 951 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition maintains the standard of excellence established in the first edition, while adjusting the content to reflect changes in tissue optics and medical applications since 1995. The material concerning light propagation now contains new chapters devoted to electromagnetic theory for coherent light. The material concerning thermal laser-tissue interactions contains a new chapter on pulse ablation of tissue. The medical applications section now includes several new chapters on Optical Coherent Tomography, acoustic imaging, molecular imaging, forensic optics and nerve stimulation. A detailed overview is provided of the optical and thermal response of tissue to laser irradiation along with diagnostic and therapeutic examples including fiber optics. Sufficient theory is included in the book so that it is suitable for a one or two semester graduate or for senior elective courses. Material covered includes (1) light propagation and diagnostic application; (2) the thermal response of tissue and therapeutic application; (3) denaturation; and (4) ablation. The theory and applications provide researchers with sufficient detail that this volume will become the primary reference for laser-tissue interactions and medical applications.
Download or read book Photodynamic Therapy and Biomedical Lasers written by Pasquale Spinelli and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 1048 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, lasers are widely used in many areas of medicine: from diagnostic to therapeutic purposes, from basic to clinical research. The aim of the above mentioned Conference was twofold. Firstly, to provide a forum for an in-depth examination of the fields of laser applications where thermal and non-thermal effects in the tissue-light interaction are exploited. Secondly, to improve communications between the current developments of basic research and users of therapeutical techniques. Approximately 460 participants, representing 30 countries, attended the Conference. The plenary lectures and a large fraction of the contributed papers presented at the above mentioned conference are collected in this publication. Invited lectures were given from the most outstanding specialists in the different fields of experimental and clinical applications. It is hoped that this collection of manuscripts represents material which can be used widely for consultation, and for the information of anyone involved in medical applications of lasers and photodynamic therapy.
