Abstract
The interaction between a pulsed Holmium laser and bone was investigated by measuring the volume and the shape of laser craters, produced by single laser pulses. The mean ablation rate, as obtained from these data, was compared to predictions of theoretical models which calculate the ablation rate from the light distribution in the bone. Result of this comparison is that scattering has to be seen as the important factor for the interaction of the Holmium laser radiation and bone.© (1995) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
