Laser-Induced Fluorescence and Reflectance Spectroscopy for the Discrimination of Basal Cell Carcinoma from the Surrounding Normal Skin Tissue

Abstract excerpt

The object of this study was to investigate whether laser-induced skin autofluorescence (LIF) and/or light reflectance spectra could provide a useful contrast between basal cell carcinoma (BCC) tissues and the surrounding healthy skin. Unstained human skin samples, excised from humans undergoing biopsy examination, were irradiated with a nitrogen laser (lambda = 337 nm) for excitation of autofluorescence and a...
