Optical Biopsy of the Upper GI Tract Using Fluorescence Lifetime and Spectra

Optical Biopsy of the Upper GI Tract Using Fluorescence Lifetime and Spectra

Screening and surveillance for gastrointestinal (GI) cancers by endoscope guided biopsy is invasive, time consuming, and has the potential for sampling error. Tissue endogenous fluorescence spectra contain biochemical and physiological information, which may enable real-time, objective diagnosis. We...
