Laser-Induced Thermal Damage of Skin

Abstract

A computerized model was developed for predicting thermal damage of skin by laser exposures. THERMAL, OPTICAL, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL DATA ARE PRESENTED FOR THE MODEL. Model predictions of extent of irreversible damage were compared with histologic determinations of the extent of damage produced in pig skin by carbon dioxide and ruby lasers. (Author)
