  • Abstract
    We present a laser Doppler perfusion imaging model to map the perfusion in melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. We numerically investigate the use of neovascularization as an early detection method using Monte Carlo method to simulate the interactions of photons and skin tissue.
