  • System and methods of fluorescence, reflectance and light scattering spectroscopy for measuring tissue characteristics
    Patent number: 8380268
    Abstract: The present invention utilizes a plurality of spectroscopic systems and methods to measure characteristics of tissue useful in the diagnosis of disease. In a preferred embodiment, a combination of fluorescence, reflectance and light scattered spectra can be measured and processed to provide biochemical, architectural and morphological state of tissue. The methods and systems can be used particularly in the early detection of carcinoma within tissue in vivo and in vitro.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2005
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Irene Georgakoudi, Michael S. Feld, Qingguo Zhang, Markus G. Mueller
