Light interaction with biological tissues: overview

The description of special features of laser light interaction with biotissues, such as the skin, eye tissues, etc., with respect to laser diagnostics and therapy methods development is given. Optical models of transparent and turbid biotissues are analyzed. The role of static and dynamic light scattering in the light dosimetry, tissue heating, and receiving information of biotissue optical parameters, its structure, movements, and vibrations are considered.
