Abstract
The results in vivo investigation biophotonics of laser-induced photodissociation of oxyhemoglobin in cutaneous blood vessels and its role in biomedical processes are presented. New method for determination of an individual response to the effect of laser radiation is presented. It is shown that, in order to make the methods of phototherapy as well as laser therapy really efficient, one has to control the oxygen concentration in tissue to keep it at the necessary level. A novel method of optical "dosimetry" based on the use of changes in oxygen concentration in tissue as a feedback signal for optimization of the therapeutic effect of low intensity laser radiation has been developed.
