Autofluorescence Imaging and Spectroscopy of Human Lung Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, with high mortality rate worldwide. Autofluorescence imaging and spectroscopy is a non-invasive, label-free, real-time technique for cancer detection. In this study, lung tissue sections excised from patients were detected by laser scan confocal microscopy and spectroscopy. The autofluorescence images demonstrated the cellular morphology and tissue structure, as well as the pathology of stained images. Based on the spectra study, it was found that the majority of the patients showed discriminating fluorescence in tumor tissues from normal tissues. Therefore, autofluorescence imaging and spectroscopy may be a potential method for aiding the diagnosis of lung cancer.

Preparation and evaluation of 99mTc-labeled zidovudine function as an analog of thymidine in the diagnosis of human lung cancer cells
Introduction: Labeled nucleotide detectors provide a basis for measuring cell division. Zidovudine is a prodrug that is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes at the 5ʹ position and converted to active triphosphate. Zidovudine triphosphate interferes with the reverse transcriptase enzyme and lengthens the viral DNA strand. Materials and Methods: Ethyl-2-propynyl acetate and 2-amino-N-propynyl benza...

Autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging have been studied for the early detection and classification of (pre)malignancies of the oral mucosa. In the present review we will give an overview of the literature on autofluorescence imaging and spectroscopy for various clinical questions. From the studies performed so far we hope to conclude whether autofluorescence spectroscopy and imaging are hel...
متن کاملIntegrated endoscopy system for simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy for early lung cancer detection.
An integrated endoscopy system for simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy was developed to facilitate more accurate and convenient detection of early lung cancers. A specially designed three-CCD camera in combination with a dedicated light source permits capture of both white-light color images and tissue autofluorescence images without the need to switch between two different cameras. A mirror ...

Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM 138) xenografts. These agents showed a high relaxivity because of their greater potential to coordinate water molecules. The reduction of T1 relaxation times of 16 and 21% was observed i...
متن کاملComparison between MRS and DWI in MRI of breast cancer
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) in people throughout the world. Today, MRI is being used because of the limitations of x-ray mammography to detect breast cancer. Non-contrast sequences were associated to CE sequences in a breast MRI protocol for the sake of appraising morphologic ...
