Lasers in Healthcare Engineering

In this lecture an overview of the laser-based technologies used in the medical environment shall be given. For a better understanding, the interaction of laser light and tissue will be discussed first. For this purpose, basic contents such as the propagation of light in scattering media and possibilities for its simulation are discussed. In the second half, various procedures from clinical applications as well as manufacturing technologies in the field of medical technology will be discussed. The lecture will be held in English.
