BIOMEDICAL DETECTION APPARATUS

摘要

A biomedical apparatus employing laser light is provided. In another aspect, laser light is unfocused when it is emitted upon in vivo or exposed internal tissue during surgery. A further aspect provides a visual and/or audio warning to the surgeon during surgery if a cancer cell is detected, within one minute and more preferably within five seconds, of emission of laser light upon the targeted tissue.
