The dogs were administered with 0.2-0.3 mg/kg of diazepam intravenously (IV) and 0.3-0.5 mg/kg of morphine sulfate intramuscularly. The surgical site was clipped and the tissue thickness was measured in each dog using ultrasonography (Logic^® S7, GE, USA) with a frequency of 10 MHz and a broad-spectrum linear probe (9L-D) by the same operator. A cephalic IV catheter was placed, and lactated Ringer’s solution was given at 10 ml/kg/h. Each dog was anesthetized using thiopental sodium 10 mg/kg IV and maintained with isoflurane 1-2% in pure oxygen.
The 830 nm diode LILT (Class 3B laser: BTL 5000 series, BTL Industries Ltd., UK) was set at a power of 200 mW as in the previous studies [22 (link),23 (link)]. The radiant exposure was set at 4 J/cm² which has been recommended for the treatment of inflammation, wounds, and superficial pain [24 ]. Both CW and PW modes with frequency of 50 Hz were irradiated for 60 s over the power meter without tissue (air) as the control and with tissues (skin-muscle tissue and skin) (Figures-1 and 2). The power meter (PM160T, Thorlabs^®, USA) was used to measure the laser power density, which was represented by MOP. The laser probe was held above the tissue surface at different distances at 0 (contact), 1, and 5 cm tissue-laser probe distances. The MOPs were recorded at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 s using Thorlabs power meter software (Figure-3a and b).

We analyzed the procedures performed in 3 different integrated ACT rooms. Two of them were equipped with an Innova 4100 angiography unit combined with a LightSpeed CT (ACT/SmartGantry Option LS system, GE Healthcare), and one was equipped with an IGS 540 combined with a Discovery RT wide bore CT (INTERACT Discovery RT, GE Healthcare). The angiography table was shared with the CT unit, which was mounted on a rolling platform, and as opposed to in conventional CT systems, the gantry was moving instead of the table during a CT scan. The ACT system had a user interface that allowed users to quickly switch the system into either imaging modality mode, and each system was equipped with a dedicated CT fluoroscopy kit.
In order to maximize patient access and scan range, the table was usually fully extended during CT scans, and more specifically during CT-guided procedures, though there was no specific requirement regarding the table’s longitudinal position to perform a CT acquisition. The ACT system allowed users to acquire multiple CT scans using a single scout image even if the user had changed the active modality from CT to fluoroscopy during the case.
Ultrasound devices used during the procedures were both the Logiq E9 or Logic S7 (GE Healthcare) systems.
