Course Objectives		This course is designed to provide graduate students with a working knowledge of the theoretical and experimental principles underlying the applications of lasers in medicine. The students are encouraged to search for additional reading material at the library as well as internet resources, and to participate in or initiate discussions in class.
Course Description		Introduction. Introduction to spectroscopy. Interaction of EM radiation with matter. UV and visible absorption SPY. Introduction to wave propagation and scattering in random media. Monte Carlo modelling of light transport in tissues. Radiative transfer theory. Fluorescence SPY. Heat generation in tissue during laser irradiation. Applications - Paper discussions
Course Outcomes		A graduate student who has taken this course I. has reviewed his/her optics and modern physics knowledge, II. has learned light propagation and light-tissue interactions, III. has learned extensively about light-tissue interactions in diagnosis and therapy.
Pre-requisite(s)		Officially NONE, yet BASIC OPTICS knowledge will be very helpful.
Required Facilities		Effective use of library resources.
Other		Homework assignments are directed towards a better understanding of the material covered in class and/or presumed known. Thus, homework assignments may cover material not discussed/reviewed in class. Each student is required to doa detailed review on a subject not covered in class and make a short presentation.
