Biomedical Applications of Photonics

Biomedical applications of photonics involve using light-based technologies to diagnose, monitor, and treat health conditions. Techniques like laser surgery enable precise removal of tissues with minimal damage. Optical sensors detect changes in tissues or blood, helping diagnose diseases early. Imaging methods such as optical coherence tomography provide detailed internal views without invasive procedures. Photonics also advances cancer treatments through targeted laser therapies. Overall, photonics enhances medical capabilities by offering safer, more accurate, and less invasive diagnostic and treatment options, improving patient outcomes and advancing healthcare.
