Lecture 1 - Introduction to Biophotonics

Download this file

Description

The wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications of optical, thermal, and radiation biophysics in today's medical practice are discussed in this course. The physical and biophysical interaction mechanisms between the energy sources and tissue are emphasized. Fundamentals of optical, thermal, and radiation dosimetry are covered, with reference to the relevant tissue properties, the models of energy propagation within tissues, experimental techniques for dosimetry measurements, and the resulting biological effects. This sets the stage for discussing selected clinical and investigational uses of light, heat, x-rays, microwaves, and ultrasound. Examples include radiation therapy, x-ray and optical mammography, fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, photodynamic therapy, biological confocal microscopy, laser-, microwave-, and ultrasound-induced thermal therapies, and Raman spectroscopy.

Your lectures are very nice. But it is difficult to download a good copy. The pdf’s are a bit blurry and you cannot read the graphs well. Could you put a link to download directly the pdf or ppt file. The scribd does not seem to work well here.
