I'll paste it to the text of this email. Was wondering when the presentation would be. I personally prefer around Dec. 20th when the final exams rush is over and one can present and listen in a more relaxed manor. Sincerely, Kathy Rouhi "Laser seems to be an indispensable tool in today’s medicine and surgery. A key to understanding this trend lies in Laser-tissue interaction. Typically, absorbed light is converted to heat that invokes changes in biological material. The great virtue of Laser is that the dose, rate, target and spatial and temporal distribution of the energy being delivered, can be controlled. In this presentation some basic aspects of Laser-tissue interaction will be explored. Then the application of Laser in tissue diagnostics will be briefly discussed. There will then be a brief description of Laser therapeutics in different medical and surgical disciplines. At the end, if time permits, some aspects of biomedical optical instrumentation will be mentioned."
