The students are able to analyze and model in depth optical properties of biotissue. They can explain laser-tissue interaction in depth. The students are able to design and evaluate medical laser systems and assign specific therapeutical areas. Special emphasis is put into dosimetry and minimal invasive techniques. An excursion to a university clinic enables the students to transfer the acquired course knowledge to practical experience.
Topics are...

• Light propagation in biotissue
• Optical diagnostics and imaging, simulation, computer modelling
• Photochemical, photothermal, photomechanical interaction mechanisms
• Minimal invasive surgical therapies
• Medical laser applications
• Lasers in clinical diagnostics
• Dosimetry
• Excursion to a clinic; clinical laser applications
