ABSTRACT

Now that you have been exposed to the relevant parameters

in optical interactions with tissue, we can identify the principal

absorbers and scatterers as well as deal with some of the methods

of their optical characterization. With these data in hand, we need

some methods to quantify the dose distribution within the tissues

we wish to treat. In doing so, we will be on the path to uncovering

some of the fundamental mechanisms of laser (light) therapy, which

will open the door to subsequent clinical discussions.
