Lasers in Medical Diagnosis and Therapy: Basics, applications and future prospects provides an overview on medical lasers and laser systems as well as laser applications in medical diagnosis and therapy. Since it was written by physicists, it focusses on the physics and underlying mechanisms of laser diagnosis and therapy, and thus initially covers the basics of laser-light generation, a selection of the most important laser types and systems commonly used in medicine, and the principles of laser-light guidance. The book should be used as a textbook for lectures, practise lessons and for the preparation of exams. It is suitable for students, lecturers and researchers in the fields of medical engineering and technology, medical physics, medicine and surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, laser physics and development, and optical engineering.

Industry Reviews

I found the book well-structured and easy to follow. The text has been written by physicists and concentrates on the physical mechanisms of laser generation, transmission and energy absorption in tissue. The figures are in colour and of a high quality. This book meets its goal of being a reference that can be used as a textbook by teachers and students for lectures and by laser safety experts when preparing material to provide laser safety training to non-physicists. I think that the detailed descriptions of the interactions of laser irradiation with tissue is particularly useful when explaining the various biological effects to clinicians and nursing staff involved in medical laser use. I think that the book should also be valuable to researchers in and students of medical physics, biomedical engineering, medicine and surgery.
