Zusammenfassung

Accurate dosimetry is an essential requirement for optimising the efficacy and safety of laser therapies such as hyperthermia and photodynamie therapy. The general problem of dosimetry in thermal laser medicine can be divided into three parts:

transport and deposition of light energy in the tissue
heat diffusion
biological response to the thermal effect.
