SGER: Radiation Transfer in Medical Laser Applications

摘要 提案编号：CTS 9816593 主要研究者：M. P. Menguc PI建议研究与“激光手术刀”相关的基本问题。“该项目将涉及机械工程系PI和肯塔基州大学激光外科系教师以及马萨诸塞州总医院Shriner研究中心教师之间的合作实验/理论/实践工作。 实验和理论研究将使用辐射传输和激光在组织中传播的数值/分析模型进行，以研究波长，脉冲频率，能量和方向性的影响。 我们的目标是创建一个跨学科的学习，记录和教学方法，这将最终导致智能激光手术刀的无缝使用。

ABSTRACT Proposal Number: CTS 9816593 Principal Investigator: M. P. Menguc The PI proposes to study the fundamental issues associated with a "laser scalpel." The project will involve a collaborative experimental/theoretical/ practicum effort between the PI at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and faculty of the Department of Laser Surgery at the University of Kentucky and the faculty of the Shriner's Research Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Experiments and theoretical studies will be conducted using numerical/analytical models of radiation transfer and laser propagation in tissue to study the effects of wavelength, pulse frequency, energy, and directionality. The goal is to create an interdisciplinary learning, documenting, and teaching approach which will ultimately lead to the seamless use of a smart laser scalpel.
