The importance of dermatological noninvasive imaging techniques has increased over the
last decades, aiming at diagnosing nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Technological …

The discovery of coherent laser light in 1960 shifted and expanded the biomedical
applications of radiation to the non-ionizing part of the electromagnetic spectrum. As in the …

We present protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence measurements acquired from patients
presenting with superficial basal cell carcinoma during photodynamic therapy (PDT) …

Fluorescence-based spectroscopy and imaging techniques provide qualitative and
quantitative diagnostic information on biological systems. In this paper, we report on the …

Optical radiation sources, and in particular lasers, find an ever-increasing number of
applications in the medical field. It is essential that personnel who are in the presence of an …

It remains unanswered how the light interacts with healthy and pathogen-infected onion
tissues in a multi-layer structure. The overall goal of this study was to simulate light …

Electrocautery and directed energy devices (DEDs) such as lasers, which are used in
surgery, result in tissue damage that cannot be readily detected by traditional histological …

This paper describes an experimental study combining spatially resolved autofluorescence
(AF) and diffuse reflectance (DR) fibred spectroscopies to discriminate in vivo between …

In this review, the optical and structural properties of biomaterials are discussed. First, we
demonstrate the optical and structural properties of natural and plasma-treated DNA, using …

This work is first a description of a statistical simulation algorithm developed for simulating
the spectral absorption and emission of several fluorophores in an absorbing and diffusing …
