Abstract

Laser diagnosis and treatment technology has been successfully applied in the field of healthcare and become an important part of precision diagnosis and treatment in modern medicine. This article focuses on the medical application of laser technology and summarizes the development status, trends, and problems of China’s laser technology in clinical treatment, diagnosis, and industrialization, from the perspectives of practical application and industrial chain. The study revealed that China’s laser medicine has made great progress in terms of laser treatment technology, medical laser diagnosis and treatment equipment, and the industry; however, on the whole, the clinical application of laser medical technology is still catching up with the global trend. The applied research of the technology still lacks original creativity, and the research and industrialization of medical laser equipment are at the mid-low end. The key technologies and high-end equipment such as ultrafast lasers for precision diagnosis and treatment are still under foreign monopoly. The study proposes that China should establish sub-disciplines under laser medicine; strengthen the construction of national science and technology innovation platforms for laser medicine; develop regulations on laser medical equipment in a targeted manner; launch relevant policies to support the development of the laser medical equipment industry; and strive to make breakthroughs in key technology research for medical laser diagnostic equipment.
