Figure 8.
Light absorption distributions from the tissue surface on the z axis when the laser light was incident at mm, calculated with and without the DOP model for (a) an irradiation power of 50 W and a movement speed of 0.5 mm/s, and (b) an irradiation power of 10 W and a movement speed of 1.0 mm/s. The blue and orange shaded areas represent the coagulation region obtained with and without the DOP model, respectively. (c) Differences between the light absorption distributions calculated with and without the DOP model.
