激光在醫學領域已經成為激光和光醫學應用領域迅速擴大的國際領先出版物。它為醫學激光應用的技術實驗和臨床方面的論文發表提供了一個論壇，包括激光在外科內窺鏡檢查、血管成形術、腫瘤熱療和光動力療法中的應用。此外，該雜志還發表了有關新型激光光傳輸系統傳感器的醫學應用的文章，以監測激光效應、基本激光組織相互作用和激光組織相互作用的建模。該雜志歡迎有關使用非激光光組織相互作用的文章。此外，還發布了邀請評論和快速溝通。所有的貢獻都經過同行評審，可能需要進行編輯性修改。

Lasers in Medical Science has established itself as the leading international publication in the rapidly expanding field of the medical applications of lasers and light. It provides a forum for the publication of papers on the technical experimental and clinical aspects of the use of medical lasers including the use of lasers in surgery endoscopy angioplasty hyperthermia of tumours and photodynamic therapy. In addition the journal publishes articles on the medical application of new lasers light delivery systems sensors to monitor laser effects basic laser-tissue interactions and the modelling of laser-tissue interactions. The journal welcomes articles relating to the use of non-laser light-tissue interactions. Invited reviews and rapid communications are also published. All contributions are peer reviewed and may be subject to editorial revision.
