Have you read our recent themed web collection on ‘Lasers in Medicine’? Guest Edited by Franz Trautinger the collection is available online now.
‘Since its invention in the 1960s the technology of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) has become essential to all areas within the photochemical and photobiological sciences. In photomedicine its use is manifold, in routine patient care as well as in clinical and experimental research, and continuing innovation is driven by the steady development of new laser sources and application devices. This virtual themed issue provides a selection of reviews and research articles on practical and conceptual aspects of the use of lasers in medicine written and compiled to attract the interest of a community of readers hopefully as broad as the topics covered.
