Light-tissue tissue interaction<br />
Photochemical - causes target molecules (photosensitizers) to<br />
start light-induced chemical reactions (eg. PDT)<br />
Photothermal - conversion of light energy into heat<br />
Photomechanical - rapid tissue heating with very short <strong>and</strong> high<br />
energy pulses resulting in tissue rupture<br />
photoablation - removal of tissue<br />
photoacoustic - shock-waves (bile, kidney stones)
