Light distributions in artery tissue: Monte Carlo simulations for finite‐diameter laser beams
Abstract
Finite‐width light distributions in arterial tissue during Argon laser irradiation (476 nm) are simulated using the Monte Carlo method. Edge effects caused by radial diffusion of the light extend ±1.5 mm inward from the perimeter of a uniform incident beam. For beam diameters exceeding 3 mm the light distribution along the central axis can be described by the one‐dimensional solution for an infinitely wide beam. The overlapping edge effects for beam diameters smaller than 3 mm reduce the penetration of the irradiance in the tissue. The beam profile influences the light distribution significantly. The fluence rates near the surface for a Gaussian beam are two times higher on the central axis and decrease faster radially than for a flat profile. The diverging light from a fiber penetrates tissue in a manner similar to collimated light.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
