Overview of Optical Techniques for Diagnosing and Treating Spinal Cord Injury
Author(s): Min Liu*
Spinal cord injuries represent some of the most debilitating conditions, leading to permanent loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic function below the level of injury. With an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 new cases globally each year, the need for effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is evergrowing. Recent advances in optical technologies have shown promising potential in improving both the diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord damage. These tools provide non-invasive, high-resolution imaging capabilities, enable detailed functional assessments, and offer novel approaches to treatment. This article explores the latest optical techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injury, examining their mechanisms, advantages, limitations, and ongoing research aimed at enhancing spinal cord repair and recovery..
