Tm:Fiber laser ablation with real‐time temperature monitoring for minimizing collateral thermal damage: <i>ex vivo</i> dosimetry for ovine brain

Abstract

Laser-thermoprobe leads us to understand the basic laser-tissue interaction mechanism in a very cheap and easy way, without making a change in the experimental design. It was also shown that the ablation and coagulation (thermally irreversible damage) diameters could be predicted, and carbonization can be avoided by temperature monitoring.
