Research and Development You will no doubt have come across the use of lasers in therapy, such as in the treatment of cataracts, or the removal of unsightly birthmarks. However, there are many other areas where lasers and light can be medically applied. We can make a difference to people’s lives… Laser and light technologies have the can non-intrusively diagnose suspect conditions but also treat them using the latest therapies. These approaches have become widely recognised as exciting alternatives to traditional surgery and can help detect diseases in their early stages, meaning treatments can help prolong and save people’s lives. The MLI is constantly developing light technologies for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, in particular, optical coherence tomography (OCT), Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These groundbreaking techniques use a combination of minimally invasive lasers and light sources to help identify and treat cancers and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as a range of medical conditions. Such methods can discover and treat these diseases at an earlier, less-crucial time giving patients a significantly better chance of recovery and survival. That’s what we do.
