Water-filtered infrared A (wIRA) irradiation : from research to clinical settings

Water-filtered infrared A (wIRA) irradiation : from research to clinical settings / editor, Peter Vaupel.

Water-filtered infrared A irradiation (wIRA) is a special application of infrared A irradiation. Its preferential induction of thermal, but also nonthermal, effects which have a high tissue penetration and low heat load to the skin surface makes wIRA a promising therapeutic method. Since its introdu...
