Abstract:Laser tissue soldering (LTS) has variously interesting applications such as wound closure, anastomosis of blood vessels, and sealing corneal wounds. Since tissue properties such as optical absorption or thermal conductivity may differ, temperature control is essential to obtain full coagulation and to minimize thermal side effects. In this article, a non-invasive technique is proposed for temperature sensing by using CdSe-ZnS quantum dots (QDs) dissolved in protein solder, namely bovine serum albumin (BSA). Th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
