Principles and Applications of Up-converting Phosphor Technology

Abstract

The high medical cost, the trend of individualized medical care and the huge demand for rapid diagnosis are the main factors driving the rapid development of UPT-POCT technology in the field of internal medicine. UPT-POCT technology, as an early diagnostic tool with high sensitivity and convenience, can not only serve as an important supplement to the central laboratory, but also play an important role in primary clinical institutions. This chapter will discuss the application of UPT-POCT technology in internal medicine diseases, including liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases and endocrine-related diseases.
