Cancer Diagnosis by Laser Spectroscopy
Abstract
Different types of spectroscopic techniques (steady state and pulsed laser spectroscopy, visible and near-IR Raman spectroscopy, UN fluorescence and excitation spectroscopy, time-resolved spectroscopic kinetics, and light scattering and propagation) were used to investigate cancerous and normal human tissues from different organs (breast, uterus, cervix, ovary, kidney, lung, prostate, and bladder) without injection of any dyes and chemicals and cultured cells (breast, lung, and kidney cells). Most of our effort concentrated on breast tissues which have been distinguished by our new spectroscopic technology. More than 17 publications have been achieved over the past three years in both an understanding of the optical and spectroscopic characteristics of cancerous and normal tissues and instrumentation development by our biomedical physics and engineering groups.
