Transient simulation of laser ablation based on Monte Carlo light transport with dynamic optical properties model

Abstract Laser ablation is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique to denature tumors through coagulation and/or vaporization. Computational simulations of laser ablation can evaluate treatment outcomes quantitatively and provide numerical indices to determine treatment conditions, thus accelerat...
