cervical sites in 95 patients at 337, 380 and 460 nm excitation immediately prior to …

Background and Objective A general multivariate statistical algorithm has been developed
to analyze the diagnostic content of cervical tissue fluorescence spectra acquired in vivo …

Abstract Background and Objective The diagnostic contribution of cervical tissue
fluorescence spectra acquired in vivo at 380 and 460 nm excitation were analyzed using a …

Laser-induced fluorescence at 337-nm excitation was used in vivo to differentiate neoplastic
[cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)], nonneoplastic abnormal (inflammation and human …

A spectroscopic system incorporating a pulsed nitrogen laser, an optical fiber probe, and all
optical multichannel analyzer was utilized to record fluorescence spectra of the intact cervix …

Abstract Background and Objective: The diagnostic potentials of ultraviolet‐excitation
fluorescence spectroscopy and diffuse‐reflectance spectroscopy of tissue are assessed in a …

A quantitative measure of intraepithelial neoplasia which can be made in vivo without the
need for tissue removal would be of clinical significance. Our group is working to develop …

Optical technologies, such as reflectance and fluorescence spectroscopy, have shown the
potential to provide improved point-of-care detection methods for cervical neoplasia that are …

In the present work, we examine normal and malignant stage IIIB cervical tissue by laser
induced fluorescence, with 2 different objectives.(i) Development of the fluorescence …

Fluorescence spectroscopy has shown promise for the in vivo, real-time detection of cervical
neoplasia. However, selection of excitation wavelength has in the past been based on in …
