Xenon arch photocoagulator used for transpupillary hyperthermia

Doc Ophthalmol. 1991;78(3-4):183-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00165679.

Abstract

The technique of near-infrared irradiation to obtain tumour necrosis in experimental pigmented melanomas is described. The xenon arch photocoagulator was modified and adapted for hyperthermia treatment. The adaptations included: filtering the light and changing the electronics, the aiming beam and the diameter of the beam.
