Abstract

We present experimental results on study of Methylene Blue penetration into skin using a method of digital analysis of color images. Experiments were carried out with a rat skin in vitro. Dependence of the penetration depth of Methylene Blue on dyeing time ofthe tissue was researched. Diffusion coefficients of Methylene Blue within the skin in vitro were estimated.
