BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to determine whether there are intrinsic
differences in the light scattering properties of tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells from a …

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

We are developing optical methods based on near infra‐red Raman spectroscopy and
fluorescence photon migration for diagnosis and localization of breast cancer. We …

The diffusion approximation to the Boltzmann transport equation is commonly used to
analyze data obtained from biomedical optical diagnostic techniques. Unfortunately, this …

A new non-invasive method to measure the optical properties of biological tissue is
described. This method consists of illuminating the investigated sample with light which is …

intraepithelial lesions (SILs), including those that incorporate colposcopy and a new …

The current standard approach to screening and diagnosing cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia (CIN) includes Pap smear triage followed by colposcopy. While it is effective …
