biomedical optics

Biomedical optics is the study and use of light to understand and treat the human body. It involves techniques that use lasers, light sources, and detectors to examine tissues, diagnose diseases, or deliver precise treatments. For example, it helps in detecting cancer, guiding surgeries, or imaging blood flow. This field combines principles of physics, biology, and medicine to develop non-invasive or minimally invasive tools that improve healthcare outcomes, offering detailed insights into body functions with high precision and safety.
