Medical Application Of Laser In Medicine

This chapter discusses laser applications in neurology.

Medical application of laser in medicine.

Soon after that the use of lasers started multiplying over the years in medicine. It is the only technology for high power diode pumped mid ir lasers which meets the needs of manufacturers and users regarding efficiency reliability maintenance and compactness of a laser solution. Medical lasers are medical devices that use precisely focused light sources to treat or remove tissues. Modulight provides a versatile and comprehensive product family for in vitro and in vivo.

3m i k r o n represents an innovative and unique technology for the medical laser industry. Eventually medical researchers and doctors saw the possibilities and the first ruby laser was invented in 1960. The term laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Medical laser application publishes interdisciplinary original contributions from all fields of technical and scientific research and clinical applications of lasers in medicine for diagnostics and therapy.

Just a year after the invention of the laser in 1960 leon goldman demonstrated how a ruby laser which emits red light could be used to remove port wine stains a type of birthmark and melanomas from the skin. A 40 watt co 2 laser with applications in ent gynecology dermatology oral surgery and podiatry laser medicine consists in the use of lasers in medical diagnosis treatments or therapies such as laser photodynamic therapy 1 photorejuvenation and laser surgery. Oncology we re working to conquer cancer through means of applying our laser technology in combination with best pharmaceutical knowledge in the world. The increasing use of laser in medicine has only been possible due to a better understanding of the interaction between laser light and living tissue.

After an overview of laser medical research current research on laser applications in neurology is presented. Being the official journal of the german society for laser medicine it represents the forum of the largest group of medical laser researchers and users in europe.
