Doctors and researchers in medicine use optical technologies and photonics to treat illnesses, get inside images of our body, create cosmetic treatments and much more. Applying photonic technologies on medicine, reduces (or eliminates) the length of the hospital stay, enables early diagnosis to improve the chances of healing, reduces recovery times and eases pain.
Photonic-based devices such as microscopes or tomography and endoscopy procedures are nowadays strategic assets in the health field. Thanks to new photonic technologies, new perspectives arise for diagnosis, therapy and monitoring in the close future.
Medical imaging, together with biochips, laser therapies and therapeutic LEDs play a key role in the early prevention of cancer, based on non-invasive methods and the improvement of the treatment.
