TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION USING LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingPaper in conference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

In cancer tumor detection, tissue autofluorescence and characteristic features of injected hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) can be utilized. The authors have studied the importance of the excitation wavelength for the achievable contrast between tumor and surrounding tissue using a rat tumor model. They have also compared the relative merits of two HPD preparations for tumor fluorescence detection. The real-time capability of the fluorescence technique is discussed.
