What medical fields was the Ruby crystal laser initially used in?

Cardiology and neurology
Gynecology and urology
Dermatology and ophthalmology
Oncology and gastroenterology

The correct answer is: Dermatology and ophthalmology

The Ruby crystal laser was initially utilized in dermatology and ophthalmology. In dermatology, it has been effective for procedures such as tattoo removal and the treatment of pigmented lesions due to its ability to target specific melanin in the skin. In the field of ophthalmology, the Ruby laser has been employed for procedures like peripheral iridotomy to treat certain types of glaucoma. The technology was pioneering at the time, leading to advancements in both fields due to its precision and effectiveness in targeting specific tissues without excessive damage to surrounding areas. This background in dermatology and ophthalmology underpins why this answer is considered correct.
