Physics of Laser-Induced Hyperthermia

  • Chapter
Optical-Thermal Response of Laser-Irradiated Tissue

Part of the book series: Lasers, Photonics, and Electro-Optics ((LPEO))

Abstract

The rationale for the use of a new modality such as laser-induced hyperthermia in the treatment of human neoplasm is based on a broad spectrum of research. The general research on hyperthermia has been conducted over a centennial, whereas the work on laser-induced hyperthermia has been carried out over the last decade.
