Few data are available about temperature distribution in tissue during Nd:YAG laser irradiation. To study the heat distribution that produces tissue coagulation, we used a thermographic camera aimed orthogonally to the laser beam axis to obtain thermal maps. Immediately after surgical resection, spe

The propagation of light energy in tissues is an important problem in phototherapy, especially with the increased use of lasers as light sources. Often a slight difference in delivered energy separates a useless, efficacious, or disastrous treatment. Methods are presented for experimental characteri

Background and Objective: Thermal relaxation time (t r ) is a commonly-used parameter for estimating the time required for heat to conduct away from a directly-heated tissue region. Previous studies have demonstrated that temperature superposition can occur during multiplepulse irradiation, even if
