The purpose of this review is to present the current state of the role of imaging in
photodynamic therapy (PDT). For the reader to fully appreciate the context of the discussions …

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for women in developing countries.
Optical technologies can improve the accuracy and availability of cervical cancer screening …

The aim of the present study was to assess fibred confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM)
as a tool for imaging the alveolar respiratory system in vivo during bronchoscopy. A 488-nm …

BACKGROUND: Conventional, white-light imaging endoscopy (WLE) results in a significant
number of misdiagnoses in early gastric cancer. Magnifying endoscopy combined with …

Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging method that can
visualize cellular and extracellular structures at and below tissue surface. The objective of …

Results: Multivariate and ROC analysis demonstrated that the triad of FMS disappearance,
microvascular dilation, and heterogeneity appeared to be the best combination for diagnosis …

Results: Fluorescein yielded high-quality confocal images of the gastric mucosa; if cancer
could be targeted (59%) images were mostly graded good. The images corresponded to the …

Confocal endomicroscopes aim at providing to the clinician microscopic imaging of a living
tissue. The currently available microendoscopic devices use the principle of confocal …
