Abstract

The Interstitial laser thermotherapy is a new perspective method of treatment of deep-seated brain tumours. The effectiveness of application of method ILTT is determined by both optical characteristics of radiated biotissues, and parameters of laser radiation (wavelength, power, generation mode of radiation, the exposure) and requires using of special laser technologies and optical fiber systems.
