The use of laser analytical methods in medicine and biophysics is mainly focused on laser ablation methods (LA ICP OES, LIBS - analysis of hard / calcified tissues, soft tissues, biomedical samples) and laser absorption methods (CRDS, CEAS - patient breath analysis, Helicobacter diagnostics Pyroli). During this course we will focus on the use of LIBS in the field of medical / biomedical applications (application examples, requirements for laser and system equipment). LIBS analysis provides rapid information on the concentration or changes in the concentration of elements present in a biomedical sample to diagnose, monitor or predict a disease state, distinguish between healthy and malignant dental tissue, or distinguish between pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria (chemometry + LIBS). One of the latest applications of LIBS in the medical field is laser-guided surgery.
