Medical laser applications require knowledge about the optical properties of target tissue. In
this study, the optical properties of selected native and coagulated human brain structures …

We have combined the Monte Carlo method with the small-angle approximation of the
radiative transfer theory to derive the optical properties (the absorption coefficient, the …

To investigate the correlation between the neuropathologic findings after laser‐induced
interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) and MRI temperature maps during laser irradiation, a total of …

The laser-induced interstitial thermo-therapy of brain tumors requires an exact therapy
planning. Therefore, the knowledge of the optical properties of native (na) and coagulated …

The aim of our studies was to develop a method to determine the absorption coefficient of a
turbid medium in a reflection geometry with small source–detector separations. Therefore …

We present a new technique to determine the scattering coefficient, the absorption
coefficient, and the anisotropy factor in turbid media on a microscopic level. To this end, a …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology and Mie theory are utilized for fundamental
research on radiofrequency ablation of biological tissue. Firstly, NIRS is utilized to monitor …

The minimum invasive endoscopic treatment for early gastric cancer has been popular in
Japan. The endoscopic mucosal resection and laser coagulation by Nd: YAG laser …

This article explores the many uses of magnetic resonance (MR) interventional procedures
in the brain, including biopsy, MR-guided interstitial therapy, laserinduced interstitial …
