Comparison of macro- and micro-lightguide spectrophotometric measurements of microvascular haemoglobin oxygenation in the tuberculin reaction in normal human skin.

abstract：:There is a lack of studies that examine the dynamics of heat-induced shrinkage of organ tissues. Clinical procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation or high-intensity focused ultrasound, use heat to treat diseases such as cancer and cardiac arrhythmia. When heat is applied to tissues, shrinkage occ...
