Parallel factor analysis of ovarian autofluorescence as a cancer diagnostic

Lasers in surgery and medicine ·doi:10.1002/lsm.22014

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Endogenous fluorescence from certain amino acids, structural proteins, and enzymatic co-factors in tissue is altered by carcinogenesis. We evaluate the potential of these changes in fluorescence to predict a diagn…

Wide-field spectral imaging of human ovary autofluorescence and oncologic diagnosis via previously collected probe data.

Journal of biomedical optics ·doi:10.1117/1.jbo.17.3.036003

With no sufficient screening test for ovarian cancer, a method to evaluate the ovarian disease state quickly and nondestructively is needed. The authors have applied a wide-field spectral imager to freshly resected ovaries of 30 human patie…
