Optical biopsies are a method of diagnosing tissues using light-based technologies, such as microscopy and spectroscopy, to examine tissue samples in real-time without the need for traditional invasive procedures like surgical biopsies. This non-invasive technique allows for quick and accurate diagnosis of diseases, such as cancer, and can provide valuable information about a patient's condition without the need for extensive procedures or waiting for lab results. Optical biopsies have the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics by providing rapid and accurate diagnoses that can inform treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
