Abstract: A Monte Carlo model is described for modeling photo propagation in a scattering medium. The fraction of locally absorbed photons is proportional to the local rate of heat generation in ...

Abstract: Thermal damage to the retina following laser irradiation may be predicted using impulse and steady asymptotes derived from a first-order rate process and a simple thermal model for two time ...

Abstract: A dorsal skin flap model for microcirculatory studies has been modified for “in vivo” studies of laser-tissue interaction with microcirculation. An experimental apparatus has been built implementing ...

Abstract: Many medical applications involving lasers rely upon the generation of heat within the tissue for the desired therapeutic effect. Determination of the absorbed light energy in tissue is difficult ...

Abstract: An investigation of the effects of laser irradiation with a wavelength of 532 nm and pulse duration of 10 ms on whole blood was performed in vitro. Threshold radiant exposures for coagulation ...

Abstract: During pulsed laser lithotripsy, the calculus is subject to a strong recoil momentum which moves the calculus away from laser delivery and prolongs the operation. This study was designed to ...
