Abstract
A mathematical model is proposed for calculation of the hyperthymia of a multilayer biological structure under the action of laser radiation. For the in vivo case, the dependences of the temperature field on the refractive index and absorption coefficient of the biological tissue under study (epidermis, the upper derma layer, the lower derma layer, blood and its corpuscles) are determined. The obtained quantitative estimates can be used to predict the changes in the optical properties of the biological structure that are caused by the biophysical, biochemical, and physiological processes during the action of a nonpolarized monochromatic radiation flow on the structure surface.
