Applications of Laser Technology in Medical Diagnostics

Abstract

Laser-based technologies in diagnosis are known to provide a high degree of resolution in diagnostic imaging (non-invasive); there is little to be found about the actual experiences of clinicians using those tools. The study does research on how laser diagnostics can be used from 
the clinical point of view, as well as the perceived usefulness and barriers to successful implementation by healthcare providers. It employed a qualitative study that included interviews with 12 specialists in the fields of ophthalmology, oncology, dermatology, and radiology (semi-structured). Data were interpreted with the help of thematic analysis. Medical applications Laser-based technologies: Laser-based applications and laser-based tools (gas spectrum achieves high accuracy and efficiency since laser-based technologies (e.g., OCT, Raman Spectroscopy) can be used. Nevertheless, the hindrances are still present in the form of high prices, poor education, and accessibility to the treatment. Improved training, broader public access, and user-informed device design are essential for effective implementation. The study provides practical insights to guide the adoption of healthcare technology.
