Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a widely used technique for medical applications that
may analyze the optical characteristics of biological tissues. By using diffuse reflectance …

Optical spectroscopy can provide useful diagnostic information about the morphological and
biochemical changes related to the progression of precancer in epithelial tissue. As …

We have designed a multimodality system that combines optical coherence tomography
(OCT) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) in a 2.0-mm-diameter endoscopic package …

Cervical cancer can be detected at an early stage through the changes occurring in
biochemical and morphological properties of epithelium layer. Fluorescence spectroscopy …

Reflectance spectroscopy is a promising technology for detection of epithelial precancer.
Fiber-optic probes that selectively collect scattered light from both the epithelium and the …

A method for estimating the optical properties of two-layered media (such as squamous
epithelial tissue) over a range of wavelengths in the ultraviolet–visible spectrum is proposed …

The fluorescence spectrum measured from a fluorophore in tissue is affected by the
absorption and scattering properties of the tissue, as well as by the measurement geometry …

A ball lens coupled fiber-optic probe design is described for depth-resolved measurements
of the fluorescence and reflectance properties of epithelial tissue. A reflectance target …

Fiber-optic probes are widely used in optical spectroscopy of biological tissues and other
turbid media. Only limited information exists, however, on the ways in which the illumination …
