      abstract = {Biomedical Optics in Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck  Surgerygives an overview of current technology in  biomedical optics relevant to the field of  Otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery. It provides  a comprehensive source of knowledge for researchers and  active clinicians seeking information on the principles and  practical use of novel diagnostic and therapeutic  technology. While most books focus exclusively on laser  surgery, which has been largely unchanged for the past 15  years, optical diagnostics and head and neck PDT  (photodynamic therapy) are usually entirely overlooked.  This book contains a basic introduction into the physics of  light and its propagation, lasers and low-coherent light  sources, and photon-tissue interaction in relation to  therapeutic and diagnostic use. The principles of various  imaging techniques are also discussed ( i.e. optical  coherence tomography in its variations), as well as the  principles and practice of lasers for surgical use on the  therapeutic side.},
