Objective To evaluate the clinical potential of fluorescence spectroscopy (a noninvasive
technique for assessing the chemical and morphologic composition of tissue) for in vivo …

Background The fluorescence characteristics of tissues depend upon their biochemical
composition and histomorphological architecture, both of which undergo a change during …

Regular screening through white light inspection of the entire oral mucosa is the most
important examination method to identify precancerous lesions and early oral carcinoma …

Objective: To explore the potential of autofluorescence spectroscopy as a tool for early
detection of upper aerodigestive tract cancer. Design: Autofluorescence spectral …

Abstract Background and Objective An early detection of oral cancer might improve the
patient's prognosis. We present preliminary results of autofluorescence photodetection of …

Autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging have been studied for the early detection and
classification of (pre) malignancies of the oral mucosa. In the present review we will give an …

Purpose: Autofluorescence imaging is increasingly used to noninvasively identify neoplastic
oral cavity lesions. Improving the diagnostic accuracy of these techniques requires a better …

Abstract Background and Objectives Autofluorescence spectroscopy is a promising tool for
oral cancer detection. Its reliability might be improved by using a reference database of …

Background Any innovation which facilitates the early detection of neoplastic changes in
upper aerodigestive tract mucosa has potential to greatly improve survival and quality of life …

Direct visualization of the oral tissue autofluorescence has been recently reviewed in
several studies as a possible adjunctive tool for early recognition and diagnosis of …
