Computational study on thermal responses of laser irradiated blood perfused and vascularized tissues

Abstract

Lasers find extensive applications in medicine and biology The laser tissue interaction has remained an active area of research Its usage has been explored in the treatment of anomalies such as port wine stain and diseases like cancers Treatment is performed by the thermal effects of laser irradiation and the process is known as laser induced hyperthermia or laser induced thermal therapy It is important therefore to understand heat transfer and radiative transfer inside biological tissue D
