NON-POLLUTING MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENT AND PATIENT USED IN INFLAMMATORY DISEASES MONITORING
Abstract
This paper presents a medical diagnosis method, based on the interaction of the infrared laser beam and the human body, in a
hospital environment, for inflammatory diseases, avoiding infected wastes. The main advantage of the laser bio-photometry is a
rapid localization of the inflammation source, deep under the skin up to 5 cm, in emergency cases, when there is not enough time
for classical medical procedures. Other advantages consist in the pollution absence for environment and patient, post-surgical
monitoring possibility with minimum costs for sterilization, and consequently, it is non-dangerous to transmit infection from
person to person being a non-invasive diagnostic technique. The studies concern the interaction particularities of the in vivo close
infrared spectrum with the human tissues, extracting the average reflection coefficient in the intact tissues and in the
pathologically modified tissues: edemas, hematomas, abscesses, others. The determined average reflection coefficient from the
intact tissues is an index of the health-state, having medium values between 55.7-68mW, which are stable in time. The
determined average reflection coefficient in infrared spectrum from the pathological modified tissues varies between 42-58mW
and it alters in time accordingly, with the evolution process. A clinical study of patients monitored by laser bio-photometry is
presented. This non-invasive technique offers an objective parameter for injuries evolutions with roughly zero infected wastes
during the investigated period. In this paper, the non-polluting properties of laser bio-photometry are highlighted, as a novel
aspect of this medical method.
