Medical applications for lasers are incredibly diverse, encompassing three broad areas: therapeutic procedures, clinical testing/diagnostics, and medical device manufacturing. Supporting such varied applications in turn requires a wide array of laser technology. This article discusses representative applications from all of these areas, and reviews key laser attributes and recent technological developments for each.
