Three‐dimensional irradiance and temperature distributions resulting from transdermal application of laser light to human knee—A numerical approach

Abstract: The use of light for therapeutic applications requires light‐absorption by cellular chromophores at the target tissues and the subsequent photobiomodulation (PBM) of cellular biochemical processes. For transdermal deep tissue light therapy (tDTLT) to be clinically effective, a sufficiently large number of photons must reach and be absorbed at the targeted deep tissue sites. Thus, delivering safe and effective tDTLT requires understanding the physics of light propagation in tissue. This study simulates laser li… Show more

“…We simulated higher-body-temperature locations or a population temperature rise on the thermostat heating plate (Figure S6a). The results show that the maximum temperature increase for in situ detection at initial temperatures of 30 and 37 °C is 36.3 and 44.5 °C, respectively (Figure S6b), within the tolerable temperature range of skin tissue. In addition to thermal damage, the laser used in SERS detection may also cause damage to superficial skin tissue. We verified the laser-blocking effect of the device by using a double-sided carbon tape as the laser-blocking layer (Figure S7).…”
