Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of the temperature generated by light irradiation, on the surface of a biological tissue with an abnormal tissue part (paraffin) and at the surroundings of the abnormal tissue were studied by numerical and experimental methods. The temperature in the tissue was solved using the computational heat transfer and was compared with the temperature measured with thermocouples. The effects of the light wavelength and the irradiation time on the temperature distribution were analyzed. As a result, the temperature distribution from the irradiation of light in the biological tissue was different when there was an abnormal tissue part. The temperature in the biological tissue with the abnormal tissue part was higher than in a normal tissue.
