An important medical laser application is in the emerging field of photoradiation therapy
(PRT). PRT is the process in which malignant tissue is destroyed by administration of light to …

The thermal effect may be a desired outcome or a concerning side effect in laser–tissue
interactions. Research in this area is particularly motivated by recent advances in laser …

Near-infrared (NIR) lasers find applications in neuro-medicine both for diagnostic and
treatment purposes. Penetration depth and profile into neural tissue are critical parameters …

Introduction: The purpose of this project is to develop a mathematical model to investigate
light distribution and study effective parameters such as laser power and irradiated time to …

Today, LASERS are widely used in biology and medicine, and the majority of health centers
and hospitals utilize modern laser systems for diagnosis and therapy applications …

The purpose of this work was to gain better overall picture to the thermal process involved in
ablation of biological media performed by means of both continuous waves (cw) and pulsed …

If laser radiation strikes biological tissue, various effects can be observed. All are caused
primarily by the interaction of photons with the molecules and the molecular compounds of …

Heating problems arising in the interaction between laser beams and biological targets are
generally related to the observed direct biological effects. The speed of the carbonization …

The results of measurements of transmittance of high power laser irradiation through skull
bones and scalp are presented. Dependences of transmittance on sample thickness were …

The rigorous method of discrete ordinates was used to evaluate the effects of anisotropic
scattering and optical discontinuity at the boundaries on light and temperature distribution in …
