One of the many uses for the laser in medical research is as a light source to detect premalignant and malignant cells in a Pap smear. Shown here are gynecologic cells passing in a stream through the laser beam where each cell is analyzed. Abnormal-appearing cells can be sorted from the rest of the cells and later examined by a pathologist for evidence of cancer.

ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION, ANGIOGR. ARTERIAL EMBOLIZATION, ANGIOGR. Embolization is a technique used to treat arterial disease. In case of localized tumors, the objective is to block an artery feeding tumor tissue in order to destroy the tumor cells. In case of arteriovenous aneurysm, embolization closes the abnormal communication between an artery and a vein. Here, on the left, a glomic tumor of the carotid before embolization, and on the right after embolization dearterializing the tumor with b
