The aim of this project is to optimise the laser head of a Computer Assisted Robot-guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO) for contact free bone ablation. The technical developments will be in the field of beam profiling using advanced optics, the integration of OCT based real-time depth-control and the required controlling software. The safety of the developed laser head will be tested in pre-clinical animal studies followed by an in-vivo clinical study on children requiring craniosynostosis.
