Tree Number(s): E07.632.490.230; E07.710.520.230
Unique ID: D054025
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054025
Annotation: /ther use: coordinate IM with disease /‌surg (IM), but for low-level laser therapy coordinate / ther use IM with disease /‌radiother (IM) + LOW-LEVEL LIGHT THERAPY (IM)
Scope Note: Tunable liquid lasers with organic compounds (i.e., dye) which have a strong absorption band, used as the active medium. During emission, the dye has to be optically excited by another light source (e.g., another laser or flash lamp). The range of the emission wavelength may be anywhere from the ultraviolet to the near infrared (i.e., from 180 to 1100nm). These lasers are operated in continuous wave and pulsed modes. (UMDNS, 2005)
