The steep progress of the application of lasers in medical diagnosis and therapy demands for a modern introductory text for physicians in this field. This book bridges the existing gap between standard textbooks in laser physics and specialized monographs in laser medicine. Starting from the fundamentals of laser operation and propagation of laser radiation through different biological systems, the author adopts theoretical concepts as well as approved clinical applications of lasers in medicine. Special emphasis is provided to recent results of research and novel clinical applications. The description of current laser devices and remarks to the medical product directive makes this book to a helpful tool for students, researchers and clinicians working as physicist, biologist or medical doctor in the field of laser applications in medicine.
