Kurzbeschreibung
Written by the world's leading experts, this book focuses major topics like the physics required to develop novel plasma discharges for medical applications, the medicine to apply the technology, and the biology to understand complicated bio-chemical processes involved in plasma interaction with living tissues. It aims to present recent developments in plasma medicine, both technological and scientific, for physicists, biologists, chemists and other scientists, university students and professors, engineers, and medical practitioners.
This comprehensive text is suitable for researchers and graduate students of a 'hot' new topic in medical physics.
Written by the world's leading experts, this book aims to present recent developments in plasma medicine, both technological and scientific, reviewed in a fashion accessible to the highly interdisciplinary audience consisting of doctors, physicists, biologists, chemists and other scientists, university students and professors, engineers and medical practitioners.
The book focuses on major topics and covers the physics required to develop novel plasma discharges relevant for medical applications, the medicine to apply the technology not only in-vitro but also in-vivo testing and the biology to understand complicated bio-chemical processes involved in plasma interaction with living tissues.
Gary Friedman, PhD, is a Professor of Electrical Engineering as well as Professor of Surgery in Drexel University.
