Abstract

Pulsed lasers are widely used for therapeutic medical applications. It is helpful to perform numerical modeling and analysis prior to treatment in order to better predict the optimal thermal dose delivered to tissues and reduce unwanted damage to surrounding healthy tissue through heat diffusion. In ...
