The paper presents a numerical analysis of the thermal damage process taking place in biological tissue containing a blood vessel during laser irradiation. The internal heat source resulting from laser irradiation based on the solution of the optical diffusion equation is taken into account. The investigation was concerned with the influence of tissue denaturation and oxygen content in blood on temperature distribution. The analysis of oxygen transport to the tissue is treated as a part of the analysis of thermal damage processes. At the stage of numerical computations, the boundary element method and the finite difference method were used.

In this paper, an axially symmetrical biological tissue domain subjected to an external heat source is analyzed. The thermal processes occurring in the domain considered are described using the generalized dual-phase lag model supplemented by the Neumann boundary conditions and the appropriate initial conditions. The problem of tissue heating is solved using the implicit scheme of the finite difference method. The obtained solution allows one to determine the local and temporary values of the Arrhenius integral. Next, the inverse problem related to the identification of the boundary heat flux assuring the postulated destruction of the tissue target region is considered. The problem is solved using the gradient method. In the final part of the paper, the results of computations and the conclusions are presented.
