Abstract

A method for applying the photometric(light-integrating) sphere to solve medical problems of laser therapy is proposed. In contrast to the currently commonly used method of intravenous laser irradiation of blood, this method is noninvasive. An additional advantage of the method is possibility of obtaining diagnostic data on the dynamic response of the organism to physiological stress.
