Abstract
Initial data for solving the problem of heating biological tissues by laser radiation are the optical characteristics of the tissues determining light regimes after irradiation, and their thermal-physical properties determining heat transfer as functions of time and depth of penetration into the medium. Based on an analysis and generalization of literature data and results of our investigations, we suggest a model of the optical and thermal-physical characteristics of the biotissues. The finite-element method is used to solve the problem of thermal conductivity.
