Review
“This is a really excellent book, dealing with almost all aspects of the technology and application of medical lasers and optical fibres. It is very well illustrated with numerous line drawings and photographs, and provides a thoroughly readable and informative text packed with useful information for the physicist and clinician alike.”
–Tim N. Mills, Lasers in MEDICAL SCIENCE“For each of the several applications of lasers and optical fibers in medicine, explains the fundamental science, the engineering aspects, and the working systems and biophysical parameters. For physicians, engineers, and biophysicists, provides a comprehensive background for diagnostic and therapeutic lasers and endoscopy. Most chapters deal with the technology or the interaction between lasers and tissue, but the last focuses on the clinical applications in specific body systems. Includes a glossary with pronunciations.”
–SCI TECH BOOK NEWS“This book is an excellent introduction to a rapidly expanding field of scientific endeavor. The book is well-written and easy to read. The author knows his subject and knows how to explain it.”
–PHYSICS TODAY“The approach and language of the author are convincing testaments to his ability to convey concepts in a very clear fashion. Katzir, who has been very active in the area of medical applications of lasers and fibers, has done an excellent job….”
–OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS“This is a really excellent book, dealing with almost all aspects of the technology and application of medical lasers and optical fibres. …A thoroughly readable and informative text packed with useful information for the physicist and clinician alike.”
