The lasers work by emitting a wavelength of high energy light that is focused on a certain area of the skin. It creates heat and destroys the targeted cells. The Nd-YAG laser produces two wavelengths at high intensity intervals as short pulses and goes deep into the skin. While the Nd...
but it would be wise to wait at least three months to make sure the patient adapts well. If there is any chance that a lens exchange may be done, YAG capsulotomy should be delayed, as an open posterior capsule makes the exchange more difficult. ...
The prostate gland or other region of interest is stimulated with laser light, resulting in ultrasound waves (photoacoustic effect) which are focused by an acoustic lens and capture
Conventionally, the light source usually comprises of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with nanosecond pulse duration and hundreds of mJ pulse energy, which is commonly used in different kinds of PAT imaging implementations, such as optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM), acoustic-resolution ...
