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
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
