Development of tissue-equivalent heat-sensitive gel for the experimental verification of near infrared (NIR) laser-mediated cancer detection and therapy
A few computational models currently exist to predict heat production and dissipation in tissue when a tumor containing optically-tunable gold nanoparticles such as nanoshells or nanorods is illuminated with near infrared (NIR) laser. The validity of any computational model still needs to be establi...
