“…About the same time Matthewson et al (1987) investigated interstitial use of the Nd:YAG laser (1-2W) for hepatic hyperthermia to produce areas of thermal necrosis up to 16mm in the normal rat liver, and to eradicate induced rat colon tumors and implanted fibrosarcomas. Hashimoto et al (1986) applied 5-15 W of Nd: YAG laser power with a modified diffuser fiber tip to treat liver tumors with evidence of reduction of tumor size. Godlewski et al (1988) used high Nd: YAG powers (100 W), with one second duration to produce areas of vaporization and necrosis of 16-22 mm in porcine liver at great speed.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
