Recently a group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US have developed a laser ultrasound scanning that is beneficial over the conventional ultrasound scanning procedure. In an era of technological advances, the healthcare sector has also invented some technology features that are proving helpful over their conventional counterparts. One such innovation is using Laser light for ultraviolet scanning, which is developed by US scientists. The scientists developed a pulsed laser system, which at a particular wavelength penetrates the skin and, is absorbed by blood vessels.
The heat generated by the laser waves rapidly expands and relaxes the blood vessels. The mechanical vibrations caused by repetitively pulsed waves are detected by sensors placed on the skin and are transcripted into an image. In context to check the efficiency, the procedure was carried out on…
